Where are 10.7 Lion SMBX log files?

Does anybody know where the new Apple implementation of SMBX log its transactions? We are in the process of debugging why Lion would not let Linux mount its shared partitions but the message from the Linux side is very terse.

mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount cifs)

We were hoping that by looking at SMBX log files may offer more into the insight on what's going on the server side of file sharing.
 
SMBX? Do you mean Samba? If so, it's my understanding that Apple has gone to its own Windows file sharing software, so you won't find the old smbd/nmbd logs.
 
Thanks for all the replies. After some googling I believe it's in the console log (hopefully).
 
Hi, RogerPham,

Run 'man smbd' in Terminal.

-debug The service will log extensive debug information and may perform extra diagnostic
checks. In debug mode, smbd will not exit when idle.
...
-stdout Causes smbd to print log messages to standard output instead of the system log.

Please try debugging using these commands:
[stopping smbd daemon]
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist

[debugging smbd]
sudo /usr/sbin/smbd -debug -stdout

[rerunning smbd daemon]
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist

Using above commands, I can get the below log for 5 times Linux mounting trial.

And, here is for Mac OS X 10.5 mounting trial.

I hope it helps.

I know this is an old thread but I figured that I'd throw in some 2 cents.

SMBX is Apples on proprietary implementation of SMB. Apple is ditching Samba for an inhouse solution, SMBX. It isn't available anywhere but Lion so far. This is all pure speculation of course ;)

I'm sure the OP knew this because that is what he was asking for, the SMBX log files ;)
