SABnzbd Forums

Hello everyone,

I am a new mac user, but not new to sabnzbd. Ive been using it for a long time on a windows pc. The conversion to mac has been more than tricky, as i expected. I had everything set up and working fine, whereas my external drives hold my completed downloads. (using paragon to read from ntfs). This morning i added a job and got the following error "PostProcessing was aborted (Cannot create final folder /*/******/******/******) im not too sure why all of a sudden this is a problem. ive been successfully d/ling and extracting for two days. I also got the same error when i reverted back to original settings and saved completed jobs to internal hdd. Being unfamiliar with OSX in general, is there something i need to set to always allow sab to have writing privileges anywhere on the mac? this plus any other tricks you might have to smooth this process would be greatly appreciated.

You told SABnzbd that it should write files to an external disk
and now that disk isn't mounted.

thanks for the response. the hard drives are mounted and i can delete from them manually and write to them manually.

What kind of disk is it? Which file system does it use?

ntfs. using paragons ntfs for mac

We've had report from another user of the same combination.
He just couldn't get it to work.
I suspect Apple's Python implementation causes the problem or else Paragorn.
But I have no means to prove this claim nor the means to test such things.
The other guy "solved" it by using an HFS+ formatted disk.

ive decided togo the same route. im moving the 4 tb of info around so i can reformat. we'll see i guess
