This bug affects me. I am running 10.04 (LTS) on an Oracle VM
VirtualBox. I am also setting up a ipv6 tunnel with Hurricane Electric,
so I am fiddling with /etc/NetworkManager/{interfaces, system-
connections/'Auto eth1'} /etc/network/interfaces.

[Bug 596064] Re: nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart
Few days ago nmbd stopped starting on boot for me. I did not change
anything at all.

This was working fine since I changed start on thing as described in

I have nothing in logs that could give me a single hint why it's not
starting. This bug is obviously not fixed.

[Bug 596064] Re: nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart
I added some debug into /etc/init/nmbd.conf so it looks like this:
===
description NetBIOS name server
author Steve Langasek steve.langa...@ubuntu.com
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0)
stop on runlevel [!2345]
expect fork

NMBD_DISABLED=`testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios'

[ x$NMBD_DISABLED = xYes ] { stop; exit 0; }
install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba
end script
exec nmbd -D
===
I was suspecting testparm to return something wrong, but instead, when I
rebooted few times and nmbd didn't start again, I didn't even have /tmp
/upstart-nmdb.log file which means it didn't hit pre-start script
section. I have no idea how can that be. Both smbd.conf and nmbd.conf
have start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0), but
somehow first gets started and second doesn't.

Some more testing revealed that if I comment out user's cron @reboot job that starts two virtualbox machines, nmbd starts.

I'm using a wireless connection with wicd (wlan interface is wlan0). Adding mkdir -p /var/run/samba does not solve the problem.

I can reproduce it on Lucid and Maverick under the following conditions: - the network is a WLAN - the connection is made by Network Manager or WICD I don't know what the condition net-device-up IFACE!=lo in /etc/init/nmbd.conf is really needed for. Can it be recommended to leave it out and to change the line to start on local-filesystems, as it is in /etc/init/smbd.conf? Could that leed to some inconveniences? A workaround is a post-connection script in WICD with the command service nmbd start. -- nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 596064] Re: nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart
There is something interesting that happened after we changed the script
the way you had described. NMBD started at boot. After some
troubleshooting, we noticed the following errors in the /tmp/nmbd-
upstart.log
$ cat /tmp/nmbd-upstart.log
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section [printers]
Processing section [print$]
Loaded services file OK.
ERROR: lock directory /var/run/samba does not exist
ERROR: pid directory /var/run/samba does not exist
This was only after we removed the date command, if I remember correctly. But
the crux of the issue is that a race condition is stopping nmbd from starting.
It so happens that samba and nmbd start up at the same time. The directory
/var/run/samba is created by the samba service when its starting up. But samba
service does that only after the command testparm -s --parameter-name='disable
netbios' 2/tmp/nmbd-upstart.log has executed unsuccessfully. NMBD service
stopped failing when we added date command in the script. The date command must
have introduced the much needed delay which we couldn't introduce with the
sleep 20 command. However we created the directory before the execution of
the testparm command execution and that fixed the issue. This race condition
should ideally be avoided by forcing nmbd to start up only after samba service
has started successfully. I don't know how to do that in an upstart script.
Please guide.
At present the pre start section of the script looks like this -
pre-start script
# No need to keep it now
# date /tmp/nmbd-upstart.log
# Introduced mkdir to fix race condition
mkdir /var/run/samba
NMBD_DISABLED=`testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios'
2/tmp/nmbd-upstart.log`
[ x$NMBD_DISABLED = xYes ] { stop; exit 0; }
install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba
end script

[Bug 596064] Re: nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart
OK, so the issue seems to be that testparm -s --parameter-
name='disable netbios' sometimes fails (or returns 'Yes') when
started at boot-time. The start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up
IFACE!=lo) should however be late enough...
To confirm, could you try with:
pre-start script
date /tmp/nmbd-upstart.log
NMBD_DISABLED=`testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios'
2/tmp/nmbd-upstart.log`
echo Output is $NMBD_DISABLED /tmp/nmbd-upstart.log
[ x$NMBD_DISABLED = xYes ] { stop; exit 0; }
install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba
end script
And post the resulting /tmp/nmbd-upstart.log when it fails ?

I played with the nmbd.conf script and changed the 2 lines that seem at fault
looks to of worked not done repeat tests

I don't think removing the x's from the second line is required but it
looks better

Those two lines are about checking if NetBIOS is disabled in smb.conf, and if yes, not start nmbd. If it works reliably for you once you comment those lines, something must fail on this testparm check. Could you try running the following (on one of the machines that fail if the check is enabled): $ testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2/dev/null $ echo $?

[Bug 596064] Re: nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart
No manual changes were made to samba configuration file. Here it goes.
#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
# commented-out examples in this file.
# - When such options are commented with ;, the proposed setting
#differs from the default Samba behaviour
# - When commented with #, the proposed setting is the default
#behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
#enough to be mentioned here
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# testparm to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
# errors.
# A well-established practice is to name the original file
# smb.conf.master and create the real config file with
# testparm -s smb.conf.master smb.conf
# This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
# which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance
# However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested
# include statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case
# where using a master file is not a good idea.
#
#=== Global Settings ===
[global]
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = WORKGROUP
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
# wins support = no
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
dns proxy = no
# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
# to IP addresses

Networking

# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
# 'interfaces' option above to use this.
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself. However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.

# in the samba-doc package for details.
# security = user

# passdb is changed.
unix password sync = yes
# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan
