Recommended folder locations...

Post by opentoe »

My "Completed Download Folder" is a network share. I also have my logs, admin, and temp folder on a network share also. Does keeping all the folder locations on a network share slow down any process? I heard that making the "temp" folder local is more wise then making it a network share. Any thoughts on this?

Networked shares are always slower.
So, if possible, keep all temporary stuff local.
If not possible, set at least an ample article cache in Config->General (if you have the memory)
to avoid reading and writing of lots of small temporary files.

Please avoid putting "admin" on a share. It's rather small and easy to corrupt.

Thanks! I'll make some changes. I have the option to run Sabnzbd on my unraid server but I think I'll use a separate computer. I kind of don't want to take anything away from my unraid server.
