OS6.2.2 - Service SMB suddenly stopped working, won't start!
PROBLEM IS SOLVED :D READ THE REPLIES. I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 and a ReadyNAS Ultra 6. Both running firmware 6.2.2. Antivirus is disable on both devices. Service SMB suddenly stopped working on both devices! Need help to figure out what's wrong and what to do to fix this! The last thing I remember doing before the fault was installing several addons, including Plex Media Server. I have removed all these addons, but did not work. Disabling and removing Plex Media Server did not help! Both having these services enabled and green in UI: AFP, UPnP, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH. Both with these Addons installed and active: - PHPSysInfo for Readynas v3.1.7 by Poussin. - Gateone v1.0.2 by Poussin. - BitTorrent Sync v1.4.103 by BitTorrent Inc. - Plex Media server v0.9.11.7.803 by Plex, Inc. - Anti-Virus Plus v2.0.2 by NETGEAR, Inc. - SMB Plus v1.0.1 by NETGEAR, Inc. Gets this message when I try to restart and status the SMB service via SSH. # systemctl restart smb.service Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for details. # systemctl status smb.service smb.service - Samba SMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/smb.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun, 01 Feb 2015 15:50:52 +0100; 12s ago Process: 24036 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd $SMBDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/smb.service Same happens with WINS service: # systemctl restart winbind.service Job failed.
