Package: ksmbd-tools Version: 3.4.7-1 Severity: minor X-Debbugs-Cc: edidecarswel...@yahoo.com
After installing the ksmbd-tools package, it enables and starts `ksmbd.service` by default, which starts `ksmbd.mountd`. The problem arises when `ksmbd.mountd` spawns a `ksmbd-worker` and the worker attempts to read the nonexistent config file `/etc/ksmbd/ksmbd.conf`. An example file `/etc/ksmbd/ksmbd.conf.example` is provided, that requires user intervention to get the proper config setup. Because of this disconnect, the worker process dies and `ksmbd.mountd` tries to spawn another one in its place. This happens almost every second, flooding the system logs, and continues indefinitely until the user stops `ksmbd.service` or places a file at `/etc/ksmbd/ksmbd.conf` (even an empty file works). I see two solutions here: 1. Create an empty file at the expected location, or 2. Add a `ConditionPathExists` statement to the service: mkdir /etc/systemd/system/ksmbd.service.d cat <<EOF >/etc/systemd/system/ksmbd.service.d/override.conf [service] ConditionPathExists=/etc/ksmbd/ksmbd.conf EOF Or it could just be added directly to the service definition that ships with the package.
