Since updates of Samba came about bit over a month ago I've been trying to resolve this issue without luck.
Attempted degrading to last functional version (4.2.1-1), but won't work with updated system.
Restoring backup however (of June 11th) does bring it back alive - but then once again as soon as system's updated smbd.service stops working.
Currently assuming it's something I've been overlooking seeing how ignoring the packages "samba", "smbclient" and "libwclient" during update after restoring the backup still will make Samba fail.
Complete removal of samba and settings then re-installing fresh will generate same error, hence doubting the settings are at fault in this case.

I have the same issue on Manjaro (Arch). It was working prior to updates... I'll let you know if I figure it out.

This is what solved my issue:
# chmod 0755 /var/cache/samba/msg
# systemctl start smbd
# systemctl start nmbd

This is what solved my issue:
# chmod 0755 /var/cache/samba/msg
# systemctl start smbd
# systemctl start nmbd
Didn't work for me, tried all from permissions to version-degrading and a lot of other things... none worked.
However! The recent update, version 4.3.1-1, resolved the issue completely. Tried to replicate the issue after 4.3.1-1 became available, but seems impossible. Working like a charm now so highly likely a bug which 'caused the malfunction.
Marking topic as solved.
