SABnzbd does not support symlinks.

Over on the QNAP forum a couple of us have been trying to get SAB to support symlinks and it doesnt look like it does.
Any thoughts?

It works fine on Ubuntu Linux (ext2 and ext3).
What does QNAP use for a file system?
Do symlinks work at all?

Hi,
I'm also one of the guys from the Qnap forum that has been struggling with soft links.
The qnap is running EXT3 filesystems. And what happens is this:
Sabnzbd wants to save to the directory /share/Qdownload/sabnzbd/complete/Movies (example)
I want my movies to go into /share/Qmultimedia/film
Instead af changing configuration in sabnzbd I just deleted the Movies directory and replaced it with a softlink/symlink using the
ln -s
command
But next time sabnzbd wants to save to the Movies folder (which is now a link to /share/Qmultimedia/film) it says in the log that it can't create Movies folder! :-(
We have checked permissions on destination, they are all 777 and ownership is also in order.
Oh and yes symlinks works fine for everything else. I use it alot.
Thank you for your time :-)

Does this issue still happen if tv sorting is turned off?

Hi Switch,
Thank you for your reply. I'll turn off TV sorting and revert with the result.

Hi,
Turning off tv sorting made no difference. This is from the web log:
2008-10-20 18:06:05,025 ERROR [sabnzbd.misc] Failed making (/share/Qdownload/sabnzbd/complete/TV)
<- /share/Qdownload/sabnzbd/complete/TV already exists as a link pointing to /share/Public/serier, but it is as if sabnzbd can't see links, so tries to make the folder again and fails.

Can you try running the following from python (either enter it at command line or shove it in a file and give it a .py extension):
Code: Select all
import os
list = '/share/Qdownload/sabnzbd/complete/TV'.split('/')
path = ''
for d in list:
if d:
path += '/' + d
if not os.path.exists(path):
print 'making: %s' % path
os.mkdir(path)
else:
print 'path exists:%s' % path

Hi Switch,
I think I did something wrong.
[/share/MD0_DATA/system] # vim test.py
[/share/MD0_DATA/system] # chmod 766 test.py
[/share/MD0_DATA/system] # ./test.py
./test.py: line 1: import: command not found
./test.py: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./test.py: line 2: `list = '/share/Qdownload/sabnzbd/complete/TV'.split('/')'
Looks like the shell is interpreting it?
Can it have something to do with sabnzbd running in a shroot environment on the QNAP devices? (I am in way over my head here)

I'm not sure how sabnzbd is launched from QNAP devices, but could it be a problem if launched using chroot? If so certain directories may not be visible to sabnzbd unless they are specifically set.
