CIFS Startup Issue

[dr_sherman]

Hi All,

I have been experiencing a issue since upgrading from 9.3 - 9.10, in a nutshell I cannot start the CIFS service. Here is the output from /var/log/messages:

Code:

I have had a look through the forum and although I can see others with CIFS issues I can't find a solution to this particular problem! Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Thanks,

Did you backup (to another computer or device) your configuration file before updating?
You might first try and import that backup .db file using the GUI.
Or if that doesn't work, try booting back into your old version and then
running the update again.
