[Samba] Samba4 HOWTO: Correction on Setting up a File Share
Hi Samba Wiki Editors, I just created my account on the wiki so I can't edit (this section) of this SAMBA4 page yet: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO#Step_12:_Setup_a_File_Share It tells you to edit smb.conf, and then it says: "Note: In older alpha versions of Samba4 you need to restart Samba to make new shares visible." However, simply editing smb.conf was not sufficient for my new share to appear automatically. I'm running s3fs on Samba 4.0.0 RC2, so I'm inferring that the switch from ntvfs to s3fs broke the ability of Samba4 to automatically re-read smb.conf for new shares.. Fortunately, I was able to make the share appear without restarting samba entirely by running this s3fs-specific command: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config And I'd recommend the wiki page be updated to instruct all s3fs users to run that command. Thanks, -Mike
