Download to different disc?? PAR/RAR not working??

Post by shane8960 »

Version: SABnzbd.py-0.4.4
OS: Unslung (NSLU2)
Install-type: IPKG
Skin (if applicable): Default
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

I have installed SABnzbd plus to an unslung NSLU2, however I want it to download the files to a different disc (Disc 1 on the NSLU2). How do I do this?

Also, I have checked and I have unrar and par2cmd and libpar2 installed but SABnzbd gives a warning that it cant find the binaries for either of them? Any ideas?

If anybody needs any further info please ask and I'll try and get it as quickly as possible. Thanks in advance for any help.

The files should be in /usr/lib or /usr/bin depending on the type of file (at least that's the case for me in Slackware 12.1), I think you can also have them in the sabnzbd folder, if that works easier.

To put the download on another disk I assume it would be to set the completed download directory to /mnt/disk1

or if you want only specific categories to go to that drive ie TV. set the TV directory to /mnt/disk1/tv

Hope this helps.

Tried using /mnt/disk1 but it just creates a folder called "disk1" in the mnt folder that already exists.

Any more ideas?

What folders are already in the /mnt directory? I know in my case its /mnt/disk1 for my first disk and /mnt/disk2 for teh second, but I'm running a different OS.

You should have something similar (if your NAS supports writing to a specific disk).

I have "Flash" and "HDD" if I remember correctly (im at work at the minute). In the "HDD" folder there is two more folder "Config" and "Data" so I tried pointing it to /mnt/hdd/data/downloads but then sabnzbd just doesnt download anything (doesnt show any errors, but never starts downloading.

Cheers, shane
