Based on the above, perhaps the upstart script for samba / nmbd has a bug as the script will stop the system from booting if no net adapters come up. A preferred behaviour would be for nmbd to fail to start but let the machine boot.
Better still, if nmbd could have the same behaviour that smbd has, an that is to start and wait for a suitable adapter to come up. -- nmbd dies on startup when network interfaces are not up yet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462169 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
