[Gluster-devel] Unable to start samba service (smb) - due to /run/samba/ncalrpc - No such file or directory

[Poornima Gurusiddaiah]

Hi, 

Can you post the output of #strace smbd and the logs(log.smbd) 
Was it an upgrade from older samba version? If yes, try clearing the /var/lib/samba/*.tdb files. 

Regards, 
Poornima
