[Bug 582376] Re: Samba (nmbd) fails to start at boot

 

I'm coming from bug #590862 which was marked as a duplicate of this bug.
And I had been asked to outline my network configuration.

No, there is no error message in nmbd.log at all. The reason for not
starting is not a failure in configuration. It always starts properly
when I launch it manually with service nmbd start.

On that machine I am using just a static ethernet network configuration.

I'll attach my /etc/network/interfaces file.

As far as I can see the problem is that nmbd is simply not always
started at boottime. Interestingly I found it to be running in rare
cases.

My guess is that there is a timing problem with the net-device-up
signal.

The major problem might be the lack of proper documentation for the
upstart code (and an increasing ignorance of the upstart maintainers).
