Samba failed to prime database, error code 22

I install the samba server on my arch with give default config where I facing an error "samba fails to prime database". After Researching I come to know that it's something because of upgrading samba. but I don't know how to fix.

Command outputs:

Re: Samba failed to prime database, error code 22

Uhm.. not sure about this one, but I'm used to the services for Samba being smb.service and nmb.service, not samba.service.

I see samba.service is part of the samba package. but don't know how it's ment to be used, and it's not mentioned on the Samba wiki page, as far as I can see.

Did you follow the guidelines on the Wiki?
