I have suffered this behavior through several versions of Ubuntu, I believe since at least Precise.
For me changing smbd.conf start condition from : start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up) to: start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) takes care of it, seems rather simple, I don't see why anyone would want to run SAMBA on lo. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951087 Title: Samba non-functional on boot.
