Auto starting smbd and minidlna at boot time

[hetfield]

A newbie question... apologies if it has been asked previously. But I've been searching the forums in vain for quite a few days.

Using ArchLinuxARM (3.11.6.1) on GFH. Automounting my two drives (3TB on SATA & 2TB on USB). The problem I have is that - I have to manually restart smbd and minidlna every time I boot the GFH. Systemctl status shows smbd running with a few errors regarding the printer (which I don't use with GFH) and minidlna NOT running.

So far I've tried:

• using systemctl start for both of these (smbd & minidlna)
• using systemctl enable for both of these (smbd & minidlna)
• enabling and disabling NetworkManager-wait-online
• trying to create a /etc/rc.conf which appears to not have been read by alarm in favour of systemd
  

My systemd startup services are registered as:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 5 21:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 27 02:20 ..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jul 27 02:21 sshd.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service
')

My smb.conf (actually testparm output) is below:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[global]
netbios name = NAS
server string = GoflexHome
interfaces = lo, eth0
bind interfaces only = Yes

dns proxy = No
idmap config * : backend = tdb
create mask = 0664
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0777
force directory mode = 0777

COPY the .service files to their destination, (this enables them), and add a requirement for them to wait on the mounting of the drives to complete.

Thanks for the reply WarheadsSE.

Any recommendation, anyone?

Hi,
Haven't tested it yet but : edit your minidlna.service and add After=local-fs-pre.target option

[hetfield]

Thanks for the response. Tried that but still have to manually start these services every time I reboot the GFH.

My current 'minidlna.service' is:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]
Description=minidlna server
After=local-fs-pre.target
;After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=nobody
ExecStart=/usr/bin/minidlnad -P /run/minidlna/minidlna.pid
PIDFile=/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
')

And the current 'smbd.service' is:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]
Description=Samba SMB/CIFS server
After=local-fs-pre.target
; After=network.target nmbd.service winbindd.service

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/run/smbd.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/smbd -D
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
')

you might want to append it to the end of After list. Getting rid of other targets doesn't help.

Look's good.. Did you edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service ?
You might 'systemctl disable minidlna' then enable to make the change.
