[Bug 1778860] Re: testparm does not detect bad vfs objects settings

[Andreas Hasenack]

The fact that the vfs_aio_linux module was dropped should go into the
release notes, so I added a bug task for that.

Invalid vfs objects are indeed annoying to debug, because not only is
testparm oblivious to such errors, smbd will also start up just fine
until the share is connected to.

Title:
  testparm does not detect bad vfs objects settings

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  New
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When I upgraded to bionic, samba broke. The failure was nonobvious
  until I ran it in interactive mode.

  testparm should be able to check I think?

  anyhow, the config issue was that vfs_aio_linux had been removed, but
  my config still said

  vfs objects = aio_linux

  and testparm did not detect that as broken
