Unresponsive Samba Share on Ubuntu 22.04 after System Restart - 'could not connect to server'
I'm prototyping a solution and I'm experimenting with Quick question that's been bugging me - This might be a silly question, but After rebooting my Ubuntu 22.04 server, I'm unable to connect to the Samba share that was working perfectly before..... When I try to access the share from another Linux machine, I get the behavior: `Could not connect to server`. I've verified that the Samba service is running with `sudo systemctl status smbd` and it shows as active. However, trying to reload Samba config with `sudo systemctl reload smbd` results in an behavior: `Failed to reload smbd.service: Unit smbd.service not found`. I've checked the Samba configuration file located at `/etc/samba/smb.conf`, and it appears correct: ```ini [shared] path = /srv/samba/shared writable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0755 ``` Permissions for the `/srv/samba/shared` directory are set to `drwxr-xr-x`, which should allow access. I also ensured that the firewall allows Samba traffic: ```bash sudo ufw allow Samba ``` I can ping the server from the client, and `smbclient -L //server_ip` returns `NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED`. I tried restarting the server several times, but the scenario continues. What could be causing this Samba share to be unresponsive, and how can I resolve it? My development environment is Linux. I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. What's the best practice here? This is my first time working with Bash 3.10. Thanks, I really appreciate it! This is happening in both development and production on Linux. Is there a better approach?
