Wsdd ERROR error in main loop

TrueNAS General
1

The errors below are polluting my console every minute. This started after I deleted expired “default-freenas” certificate (I have another self-signed cert I’ve been using for a while so really did not think other cert was being used.)

It reads looks like an unhandled error and seems to be related to SMB service. I’ve tried some remedies from old posts in old forum but those aren’t fixing the problem. Same keyword searches in new forum did not return any results. If I turn off SMB service the error messages stop but so does windows sharing so that’s not a viable fix

Help!

Which version are you running? Found SOLVED - WSD error | TrueNAS Community.

3

running version 13.0-U6.1

Sounds like it’s not handling some potentially invalid WSD messages. 13.3 will have updated wsdd. You can always disable in 13.0 if it’s causing issues.

5

Can I disable the message without disabling SMB? If I disable the SMB service none of the NAS users will be able to actually use the NAS since they’re are all Windows machines using Windows Sharing (unless there’s another way.)

By the way, this doesn’t seem like a new problem. It - or some variation of the same unhandled error - was happening back in 2020 with v 11.3. See https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/wsd-error.83412/#post-605205

You can disable WSDD through webui in network settings.
