Another "disk error creating file..."

Post by buttsnake »

Hi. I've seen other messages on here with this error but they all seem to be fairly unique. I'm getting intermittent errors on pretty much all file operations. A download will begin successfully, this error will pop up and it will pause, I can resume successfully and then it will happen again.

Relevant info:

* Sabnzbd v2.3.9 [03c10dc]
* Running docker image using the latest from inuxserver/sabnzbd
* Host is windows 10. incomplete downloads are mounted to a volume on host

It's giving me an error when I try to put the log in here about new users posting links (even though there weren't any). So I posted the log to a gist, and will annoyingly obfuscate the link to said gist

It is an error from the OS / filesystem. SABnzbd cannot solve that for you.

The strange thing is that the error occurs on the fout.close(). so at closing the file. Apparantly writing went OK ...

Anyway:
My suspicion is "<Linux docker on> Host is windows 10." and "incomplete downloads are mounted to a volume on host".

That volume: Plain C: drive via SATA/NVME, or USB, or NAS/SAN?

I had the same problem and in Windows I
[*]enabled "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" under the hdd properties in Device Manager
[*] set "turn off hard disk after" to 0 in Power Options - Advanced settings

one or both of these settings seem to have helped.

Edit: I should probably point out my media drive is a regular old hdd, not an ssd.
