Samba update moved my shares (again)
I booted up my file server, resigned to the fact that I wasn't going to
recover anything from the ext3 filesystem. But a quick df revealed that
my shares weren't deleted after all; they were just moved.
Today when I updated samba again, the same thing happened: all my shares
were moved into /var/lib/samba, but smb.conf was not updated so they
became inaccessible.
1. Why does samba take such liberties with my system?
2. How do I stop this from happening every time I update?
