Greyhole not connecting to Samba (smdb_vfs_init)

[agwerschky]

[17:49] <sparkus> hello, I'm having a smbd_vfs_init issue on amahi with greyhole, rpm reinstall doesn't help.
[18:02] <sparkus> it looks like I have multiple versions of greyhole installed, which may be the issue. rpm -qa | grep greyhole give me three different versions 9.20-1 through 9.22-1
[18:03] <sparkus> I can't uninstall them using rpm -e, they give an error of Job failed, see system logs for details. error: %preun(hda-greyhole-0.9.20-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

You can try doing a downgrade as root user:

Code: Select all

yum downgrade hda-greyhole

Then once that is done, do a reinstall as per the wiki.

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Greyhole_updating

Ensure you install hda-greyhole and not greyhole or you will have issues. Not sure if this will take care of your problems, but its a start.

Thanks Bigfoot!

unfortunately, downgrading doesn't help.

Transaction Check Error:
package hda-greyhole-0.9.21-1.x86_64 is already installed

I have three different versions of hda-greyhole installed, and I can't remove them via rpm -e because I get an error of:

error: %preun(hda-greyhole-0.9.20-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

The only advice I got via greyhole irc was:

[18:38] <@gboudreau> force-reinstall the latest rpm

This doesn't fix the problem.

So I'm at an impasse.

If you have anything else in your bad of tricks I'll try anything!

[bigfoot65]

That is all I know of is the down grade. It worked for me. I stopped Greyhole first, then did the command. You could try specifying the whole rpm name with downgrade. Not sure it will matter, but worth a shot.

If the author can't sort it out, then you may be stuck. You may have to consider reinstall.

Documentation of fix.
Figure out how many greyholes are installed with:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep greyhole

Stop greyhole with:

Code: Select all

service greyhole stop

Then remove any duplicate packages with:

Code: Select all

rpm -e --noscripts hda-greyhole-0.9.22-1.x86_64

check to make sure you only have one package installed by running:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep greyhole

Then force its reinstallation with:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh --force http://www.greyhole.net/releases/rpm/x86_64/hda-greyhole-0.9.21-1.x86_64.rpm

It may not be the right thing to do....but it worked for me.

This might a good thing to add to the Upgrading Greyhole page in the wiki.

We would greatly appreciate it if you had time to do so.
