Watched folder setting keeps getting cleared

Post by Tiny Clanger »

My NZB watched folder is on the NFS-shared filesystem from my NAS: /mnt/media1/NZB. However, if there is a power outage and everything restarts at once, SABnzbd will be running before the folder has appeared, as the NAS is still checking filesystems.

In that situation, SABnzbd clears the watched folder setting completely, so folder watching stops working until I manually reset the setting, even once the filesystem has remounted automatically a few minutes later.

Surely it would make more sense to log the error, or inform the user some other way, and leave the folder setting alone? Quite a lot of people use network mounts, meaning folders come and go. SABnzbd isn't writing to it, so the folder being missing isn't a problem — there really isn't any need to clear the setting…

Version: 0.6.12
OS: Ubuntu Natty
Install-type: repository
Firewall Software: none
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

Thanks

Thanks — I'll see what happens next time the power goes out. (Hopefully that won't be too soon, though!)
