I rarely use my samba shares, but occasionally I need them as a way to share data with a Windows XP guest in VirtualBox. They seem to have stopped working ever since I switched to systemd. Before I upgraded to systemd, I had to manually (re-)start samba after booting up to make the shares available. After upgrading to systemd, even restarting the smbd and nmbd daemons doesn't fix it.
I dug around the forums and found some people with similar issues, but none of them quite describe where I'm at and none of the answers worked for me. And of course I tried the obvious superstitious stuff like "do a full system upgrade with pacman" and "reboot".
The logs don't show much for smbd; as for nmbd, I'm not really sure what to make of the following:

Solved it -- after giving up and moving on to something else, I figured it out.
My hostname was not set -- thus the terminal showing @localhost instead of the hostname I normally use.
I set the hostname as described in the wiki page for systemd:
$ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname myhostnameThen logged out and back in again and finally restarted smbd and nmbd:
sudo systemctl restart smbd.service nmbd.servicePresto! Samba works again.
I'll be editing the wiki page for migrating from systemd to include mention of changing your hostname even if you're migrating from an existing system.
