Sharing SABnbzd Ubuntu & Windows 7

Post by StevenXL »

Hi Everyone,

I am dual-booting Ubuntu & Windows 7 on my machine and would like to know how I could share the settings between both OSes. It would be great if I could shut down one OS, boot up another, and SABnzbd will pick-up where it left off.

Thanks everyone.

Very tricky.
Pathnames are stored in the queue administration.
Windows understands Unix paths, but not the other way around.
Also it's very unlikely that the paths match exactly.
You would need to put all files in a shareable location that is approachable
through the exact same paths.
Using the -f parameter is needed to ensure the right root of all folders.
Only use relative folders in Config->folders.
I'm not sure this can work, but it's worth trying.
