At some point in the recent past, my Dockstar's firmware was updated automatically.

At some later point I modified my Samba 2 (via Optware) configuration to add a new share, and restarted Samba.

I now cannot reach my Samba shares.  I upped the log level but can't find anything I can decipher in the output.  The SMB server appears to be exiting normally.

All my customizations appear to be present.  The scripts I'm running from rcS to mount /opt and my SMB shares appear to be executing, and working as I intend, as the file systems are mounted where I expect them to be and are accessible from the ssh.  It is just Samba that's acting up, and is not being very forthcoming about why.

Before I go digging I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this or a similar problem and what if anything fixed it.  Thanks.

Tony

Are you sure the samba is using the right configuration file?
Mine was using /etc/samba/smb.conf and not /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf.

Yeah, I'm sure it was the right one, because my logs are going in /opt/var/log, and adjusting the log level in /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf caused what was going in them to change.

I was getting ready to uninstall and reinstall Samba, when I decided to give the built-in implementation a try, and it looks as though they fixed it with this update. I tried using WFS on my Dockstar out of the box and every file I tried to write to it ended up corrupted. I'm not done testing yet, but I've done some of the same tests that failed before, and so far have seen data integrity that just wasn't there before. With any luck, this might be fixed and I might not need my own Samba installation anymore.

Updating - so much for my hope that the update had fixed their WFS implementation. I ran a test case that had caused me trouble before - specifically using WinAmp's format converter to read MP3 files stored locally and write the converted files directly to a drive letter mounted on a directory shared out of my Dockstar via WFS. As before, most of the files are corrupt. They seem to be the right size, and most have the right metadata up front, but there is no sound in the files. And they diff as being different from teh result of the same conversion done to local storage, or to a different Windows share - or even to a directory shared out of my Dockstar via Optware Samba 2.
