Hi all,
I've setup SAB 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 and everything is working fine, except for one thing: during downloads the small SSD I'm using for the OS is being used, which pauses the download when the minimum capacity limit is reached.
I've specified the incomplete folder to reside on a large storage disk: /mnt/Datastorage/incomplete
The final destination of the files are also on the storage disk: /mnt/Datastorage/Completed
But for some reason the OS disk is decreasing during downloads (the diskspace shown in the GUI in the Glitter interface is the OS disk, not the storage disk), and then when the files are moved to the completed folder, the space is freed up again.I checked the incomplete folder in my home directory, and it's empty during downloads, the files should go into /mnt/Datastorage/incomplete, but why is the OS disk being used at all?
Any insights?
Thanks!

Re: OS disk being used instead of mounted storage
Yes, seems to be a mounting issue, I'll figure it out now that I've been pointed in the right direction!
I can post the resolution here as well for anyone else that experiences the same issue.

Re: OS disk being used instead of mounted storage
It was a mounting issue; I commented out the manual mount in /etc/fstab and let the system automatically mount the drive under /media/user/ and the destination folders were set correctly.
