Completed folder on NAS - cannot create?

Post by coendeurloo »

Well, I have the following setup: I have a HTPC (Asrock ION 330) running XBMCLive, which has a minimal Ubuntu install. On this pc, I have SABnzbd up and running. Now, I have a NAS connected to the network, mounted as a folder within the ubuntu linux system. It would be super if I could download to the internal drive (fast processing), and then copy the completed files over to the completed dir on the NAS...however, when I set it to the mounted nas dir, it comes up with this error:

What could be wrong? Maybe it has something to do with the fact because the folder 'nas' has a different owner as you can see in the following screenshot:

I'm no power user as you may have noticed, so I could really use some pointers here!

The root owns the NAS folder and is the only one with write-access.
I assume SABnzbd runs as user XMBC?
Please test these things manually before complaining about SABnzbd.

I can not remember me 'complaining' about SABnzbd, but anyway...

SABnzbd runs from the XBMC system so I assume it runs as xbmc. Again, I'm no power user so I'm not sure, and I only posted this topic so that maybe someone could give me some guidelines on how to fix this.

You're right :)
Try to chmod to give the xmbc user account access.
chmod g+rwx,o+rwx /NAS
Not sure if that's a safe setting.
Maybe you can change ownership to xmbc.
chown xmbc /NAS
You must do that as root.

That's about what I can tell you.
