Can't install SMB V2 on NSA325v2

derboum

Hello everyone,

i tried to update samba on my Zyxel NSA325v2 according to this HOW TO https://zyxel.diskstation.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24&sid=3e40a8ef0b230af1ad6c9d0802170f46

It fails at the Point where i start /opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement.

An error accured: mw: can`t rename '/opt/var/lock/*': No such file or directory

Can anyone help me?

Best Regards

That is caused by next lines in the start script:

    # Move /opt/var/lock to ramdrive, else the maintenance of browse.dat will keep the disk awake

    if [ ! -h /opt/var/lock ] 

    then

        mv /opt/var/lock/* /var/lock/

        rmdir /opt/var/lock && ln -s /var/lock /opt/var/lock

    fi

Apparently you don't have an /opt/var/lock directory, so you can just create the symlink

ln -s /var/lock /opt/var/lock

Thank you for the quick answer.

Unfortunetly after i did the command

ln -s /var/lock /opt/var/lock

and then tried to start

/opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement start

nothing happens.

What can i do?

Mijzelf

Try restart instead of start. Or reboot the box.

derboum

Tried both. Nothing happens.

Anything else i can do?

Mijzelf

Use the 'debug mode' of the startscript:

/bin/sh -x /opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement start

Is this good or bad?

I tried to check smbstatus but it throws an error.

derboum

~ # /bin/sh -x /opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement start

• prgmname1=/opt/sbin/nmbd
• prgmname2=/opt/sbin/smbd
• configfile=/opt/etc/samba/ZyXELSambaReplacement.conf
• nmbdpid=/opt/var/run/nmbd-ZyXELSambaReplacement.conf.pid
• smbdpid=/opt/var/run/smbd-ZyXELSambaReplacement.conf.pid
• basename /opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement
• [ S09ZyXELSambaReplacement = samba.sh ]
• startreplacement
• [ -f /etc/init.d/samba.replaced.sh ]
• return
• exit

this is the output.

Mijzelf

[ -f /etc/init.d/samba.replaced.sh ]

return

Are you sure that it isn't automatically started on boot? The start procedure is roughly

• Stop stock firmware (/etc/init.d/samba.sh stop)
• Rename firmware startscript to /etc/init.d/samba.replaced.sh
• Create a symlink /etc/init.d/samba.sh to /opt/etc/init.d/S09ZyXELSambaReplacement
• Start the Entware samba via this symlink (/etc/init.d/samba.sh start)

The symlink is created because the firmware uses it to restart samba when needed. This way the firmware restarts the Entware samba without knowing (or needing to know)

Stopping of the replacement is the same sequence reversed.

The script checks if the renamed startscript is available, and if so, then exits, which seems to be the case.
