I am able to access sabnzbd through firefox web browser. It tells me that I have 0.01GB of free space. I do have more than 1 disk, I have a total of 4 1TB drives in RAID5.

Aha! So to which disk & directory (or 'folder') is SABnzbd pointing? You can check that in the SABnzbd webgui: Config -> Folders.


FWIW Here's a quote from my Config -> Folders:


User Folders
In "/home/sander"

Temporary Download Folder:
Location to store unprocessed downloads.
Can only be changed when queue is empty.

downloads/incomplete

Can you change those directories to another directory / disk / share, and see what happens with the available disk space reported?

Where should I change it to? I just have them go to my downloads folder.

Thanks the problem has been finally solved! I just told sabnzbd to move the downloads to the downloads folder instead of the Qdownload folder where I had no free space. Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

I have another question. I just shutdown sabnzbd and now I am unable to reach it through the web interface. Any ideas how I can turn back on sabnzbd?
Thanks

Realize this is an old topic, but I had a similar problem.
There was enough space in the temporary downloads folder, but SABnzb said there was 0GB space in the complete downloads folder. I fixed it by going to "config"->"folders" and setting the value in "Permissions for completed downloads" to "777".

Cheers!
