@macnb can you run "systemctl status smbd | pastebinit" (after a fresh boot, before running any "smbd" commands) and post the link.

For some reason on your system there seems to be some sort of dependency issue that doesn't exist on any of my systems:

Code:

Jul 10 18:50:14 LibreELEC systemd[1]: smbd.service: Job smbd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.
Jul 10 18:50:14 LibreELEC samba-autoshare[800]: A dependency job for smbd.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details.

Edit: This seems to be the issue:

Code:

Jul 10 18:50:14 LibreELEC systemd[1]: samba-config.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Jul 10 18:50:14 LibreELEC systemd[1]: Failed to start Samba Configuration.
Jul 10 18:50:14 LibreELEC systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Samba SMB Daemon.
Jul 10 18:50:14 LibreELEC systemd[1]: smbd.service: Job smbd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

Do you have many extra drives attached to your system?
What's the output from:

Code:

systemctl list-units | grep udevil-mount | pastebinit
