SABnzbd Forums

Hi all,

Just moved from Windows Server 2016 to Ubuntu Server 17.10.1.

SABnzbd is installed and works perfectly fine, aside from one issue.

I have 4 disks in my machine;

1. sda - system drive
2. sdb / hdd1 - media storage
3. sdc / hdd2 - media storage
4. sdd /hdd3 - temp storage


I've set the SAB complete/incomplete folders to /media/hdd3/complete and /media/hdd3/incomplete.

This works fine, when an nzb is passed to SAB, it creates a folder in /incomplete, downloads, processes, moves to complete then it is moved to /media/hdd1/(Movies orTV).

The problem is, when downloading it is ALSO filling up sda, I started with ~90GB free and it's now down to 20GB. I'm assuming SAB downloads it locally to the same drive before it is processed to the incomplete/complete folders and mine just isn't getting rid of it afterwards?

Any ideas really appreciated!

What kind of files do you see junk that 70GB? And which directory on your sda?

To be honest - I can't even find them - the downloads/complete and incomplete in my home folder are both empty.

#df shows that I have 76% of my /dev/sda1 partition used which is about right comparing to how much SAB says I have space remaining, but #ls -lh doesn't show anything out of the ordinary.

It's definitely related to SAB as the use % on /dev/sda1 slowly goes up as something is downloading, and stops when I pause it.

I'm a bit lost.

On Linux, you can use "ncdu" to find out where disk space is used.
