OK, I have no clue what’s going on with Linux but can we stop breaking things every update? I haven’t changed anything except —> I reformatted 1 drive from NTFS to EXT4. Thats it. NTFS update broken NTFS next update ( or was it the 3rd next update) broke samba this update uninstalled the NVIDI…

Install Arch vanilla lts kernel. Boot with it. And see if samba fixed.

What happens if you run sudo modprobe cifs, then your mount commands? On my system, with the latest 7.1.11 kernel, I got the following: before $ pacman -Qs cifs local/cifs-utils 7.5-1 CIFS filesystem user-space tools $ lsmod | grep cifs $ grep cifs /proc/filesystems after $ sudo modprobe c…

[image] ajgringo619: sudo modprobe cifs sudo modprobe cifs modprobe: FATAL: Module cifs not found in directory /lib/modules/7.1.10-zen1-1-zen

The Arch kernel is installed, let me boot into it. BRB.

Hmmm…it’s in both the 6.18.48 LTS and 7.1.11 Arch kernels. With pkgfile, I’m showing these cifs files in linux-zen: $ pkgfile --list linux-zen | rg -n --color=auto cifs 6292:extra/linux-zen /usr/lib/modules/7.2.2-zen1-1-zen/kernel/fs/smb/client/cifs.ko.zst 6294:extra/linux-zen /usr/lib/modules/7.2.…

Have you updated recently? linux-zen is on 7.2.2 now.

I just loaded the main arch kernel and everything is working. I ran 2 updates today. Let me try again. EDIT: just running a quick backup to test the media server, I deleted something and now we’re seeing if it gets restored - yep, that worked great. I like the idea of the zen kernel, performance…

Yep. I am already on 7.2.2 zen and after those few reboots it all works once more. THIS REMINDS ME: At some point the update process stopped notifying me to reboot after a kernel/graphics driver update–or any update that would require a reboot because of changed files. THAT MIGHT have happened he…

Glad it’s working for you. As a precaution, I would check for unneeded directories in /lib/modules.

This notification can get problematic (and actually was before not so long ago fix) Not sure where it get controlled, in pacman hooks? Basically, you need to reboot in case of: kernel update any sort of dkms package update mesa update nvidia stuff update But sometimes some stuff need reboot a…

[image] ajgringo619: /lib/modules. Yep. Just the 7.2.2-arch1-1 arch native, LTS and zen directories there - all the same versions - tyvm Was this check because I had a mismatched kernel version at some point which cased this kerfluffle? I REALLY gotta start thinking Linux more. Old WIndow…
