Hi
I have a server running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-29-generic i686) and samba has suddenly stopped working. It’s been about a week since my last login when the connection was working fine.
I’ve tried using mount_smbfs from terminal without success and can’t see anything unusual in the smb logs at /var/log/samba
Just wondered if anyone else had experienced a similar problem, or had any ideas what I could try?
Thanks Dan

It probably ran out of memory and crashed. Check if it’s running: <br><pre>sudo ps wwaux | grep samba</pre> <br>If it’s not, start it: <br><pre>sudo start smbd <br>sudo start nmbd</pre>
