SABnzbd Forums

Hopefully you guys can help me out.  I have a strange little set up.  I have SABnzbd running on my mac mini and writing to shares on an unRaid NAS.  I've suddenly started having problems with my downloads.  All the downloads say 'failed - Out of server retention'.  However the error log seems to indicate that the problem has something to do with writing to the shares.  I can connect and write to the shares from the mini with no problem.  SABnzbd's configuration tab accepts the shares.  If I write directly to the mac mini everything is fine but this kind of defeats the purpose of building the damn server.  I know other people are running SABnzbd on their unRaid machine, which I can do but I'd rather fix this error.  Thanks for the help.

Out of server retention means it is not on the USENET server anymore

Please check : 

* The same file with both set-ups, so to mini & to unRaid NAS
* give full write/read axx to the complete/incomplete folders on the unRaid NAS

Also please post the msg that you seen in the error / sabnzbd+ logs

Thanks rascalli.  I think I figured out what the problem was.  If I connect to the shares on the mac more than once then SABnzbd has a problem seeing the correct share to download to.  For instance, if I set the download folder to be /Volumes/Television and then connect to the Television share again later a second virtual share is created called /Volumes/Television-1.  This is obviously different then the place that SABnzbd has been told to right so it creates an error during download.  I don't know why it gives the out of server retention error.  I killed all the shares and then reconnected and everything was fine.  We'll see how long it lasts.
