Samba service random stops

I’m having issues on my Scale 24.04.1.1 instance, where my samba shares randomly stop and need to be manually restarted.

I read on the old forum that the issue may be related to permissions, so I just went through and ‘chmod -R 755’ my datasets on the host. But in saying that, I’m a little confused why the below ACL permissions (which I previously had on top of 770) would cause this issue?

owner@ - root - allow | full control
group@ - root - allow
group - admin - allow | full control

note this is basically the NFS_RESTRICTED preset with my admin group added.

any thoughts?

snapshot dataset before making recursive ACL changes per the tutorial / guide.

I know that doesn’t help your problem but I figured a warning if you are making changes.

I tried running ‘chmod -R 755’ on all my datasets earlier in the week, and samba just had a random stop again. So, looks like this could be a separate issue. Any thoughts?

As a follow-up. I upgraded to 24.04.2 a couple of weeks ago and haven’t seen this issue since.
