How do you save completed downloads to usb drive?

Post by monmon_4 »

I just installed SABnzbd onto an XBMC Live system through ssh. The hardware is an Acer Aspire Revo 1600.

I have plugged a USB fantom 2tb hard drive into the Revo. XBMC Live automatically mounts and reads my media from it. But what do I put into the completed downloads field so SABnzbd saves to it? I can't figure out the proper path.

The drive is named "fanmon". Ive tried:

//Fanmon/
\Volumes\Fanmon

but none work. I think the second is actually for OS X but I tried it anyway. XBMC is based on linux.

Thanks for the help.

On Linux (-derived) operating systems you normally must "mount" external drives.
That means you tell the OS where the file system of the devices
is inserted in the main file system.
Try googling for "linux mount".
You need to know the device name too (the name the OS uses for it).
That might be a bit of a puzzle.
