[Samba] Upgrading a ctdb cluster: samba not listening on TCP port 445

[Nicolas Zuber]

Hi all,

I try to update two clustered samba file servers. Right now samba 4.7.0 
with ctdb is running on both of them. To update samba I stopped ctdb on 
one of the servers, and compiled and installed samba 4.7.1 with:

./configure --with-cluster-support --with-shared-modules=idmap_tdb2,idmap_ad,vfs_glusterfs --with-systemd

Trying to start ctdb on the updated server fails with " 
ctdb-eventd[19790]: 50.samba: samba not listening on TCP port 445" in 
the ctdb.log. Trying to update directly to 4.7.3 or 4.7.4 shows the same 
error message.

Removing the "clustered = yes" from the smb.conf file and starting smbd 
by hand works fine and the smbd process listens on port 445. Downgrading 
again to 4.7.0 worked without any problems and ctdb and smbd are running 
again without any problems, but this is only a temporary solution.

Any help in how to debug this problem will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Nicolas
