Samba error: sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]! - Dzintars Bergs - 10th Feb, 2018 01:53 AM
Samba stoped working few days ago. All clients are failing to connect. /var/log/samba/log.smbd log is full of this message:
Terminal
[2018/02/05 09:16:03.212296, 0] ../source3/lib/sysquotas.c:461(sys_get_quota)
sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]!
sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]!
Any ideas?

I think it will require a few more details to sort this out.
For a start what is in your samba config file? What mounts? etc.... The more info you can give the more likely someone can help you.

I did not make any changes in configuration, when samba stopped working. I think problem is related to some automaticly installed update.

@Dzintars Bergs
Could you please check if Samba is running as daemon or started by inetd? I made some modifications in xbian-package-config-shell and maybe this does not work on your manually editied machine (you remenber your last samba issue)
Please read comments in file /etc/default/samba
RE: Samba error: sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]! - Dzintars Bergs - 11th Feb, 2018 12:12 AM
Samba was running as daemon before. Now RUN_MODE="inetd" is uncomented:
Terminal
#
# Run mode of Samba (smbd) process. If set to 'inetd', smbd is
# being spawned by inetd daemon on request, otherwise smbd is
# started as daemon via smbd upstart job. After changing this
# variable, you have to run 'sudo xbian-config services select'
# or reboot system
#
RUN_MODE=inetd
# Run mode of Samba (smbd) process. If set to 'inetd', smbd is
# being spawned by inetd daemon on request, otherwise smbd is
# started as daemon via smbd upstart job. After changing this
# variable, you have to run 'sudo xbian-config services select'
# or reboot system
#
RUN_MODE=inetd
I tried to comment the line and restart, it did not help.

Please check if Samba is running as daemon, for example by
Code:
sudo status smbdor
Code:
pgrep smbdRE: Samba error: sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]! - Dzintars Bergs - 11th Feb, 2018 12:18 AM
I checked xbian-config. Samba service was disabled. I enbaled autostort, commented "RUN_MODE=inetd". Now samba works and is running as daemon.
Terminal
root@pi2 ~ # status smbd
smbd start/running, process 1169
smbd start/running, process 1169
RE: Samba error: sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]! - Nachteule - 11th Feb, 2018 12:22 AM
So it's working again? Fine
Please do not comment the RUN_MODE line, it's better to write
Code:
RUN_MODE=daemoninstead, because upcoming xbian-config GUI allows you to switch between inetd and daemon mode without editing anything, and for that this line is required
RE: Samba error: sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]! - Dzintars Bergs - 11th Feb, 2018 12:31 AM
Yes, it works fine now. I changed RUN_MODE to daemon. Thanks again for help!

You're welcome
