SABnzbd Forums

Hi all,

I have just set up SABNzbd for my synology NAS. All seems well, but I have one error:

Cannot change permissions of /volume1/Public/SABNzbd Downloads/incomplete

Is this something I should worry about? How should I fix this?

Thx in advance!

Does downloading work properly?
Fixing means giving SABnzbd full access to the /volume1/Public/SABnzbd Downloads folder.

I agree...

But can you explain how?
I tried all the settings, but nothing seems to work to get this in place.
In the preferences I have used the 777 CHMOD, but the error still is there...

This is something that has to be done outside of SABnzbd.
Since I'm not familiar with the system you're using SABnzbd on, I cannot tell you how.

I was able to fix it with the command chmod 777 /volume1/downloads/

For future SABnzbd users that are hosting it on a Synology NAS via its DSM operating system. Firstly, I must say, you've made a very wise choice of storage platfom, the Synology NAS is the bomb (mine is the 1813+), but it does take you into a world of Linux and a different application of permissions and if you don't have a mild understanding, the 755 or 777 applied permissions might as well be 666.

In the folder configuration tab, the creators of SABnzbd have given you and I the ability to control the permissions on whatever folder we designate as the Completed Downloads folder (i.e. \volume1\Media\Content Downloads), so if you setup your Incomplete folder as \volume1\Media\Incomplete (outside the completed downloads path) it will throw this error. If may be functioning properly because you have set up permissions to allow anyone or anything to read/write to that directory path within your Synology, but SABnzbd doesn't have the ability to control the Linux permissions by applying 755 or 777.

To get rid of this pesky error appearing periodically, just move your Incomplete directory folder into you Completed Downloads folder (i.e. \volume1\Media\Content Downloads\Incomplete) and everything will be copasetic! :-)

*Also, all you Windows Synology users...please be aware that in Linux when mapping a NFS share path, it is usually be case sensitive. If your mapping isn't working, try matching all cases in your path to the created volume in your Synology NAS.

Happy Downloading and Viewing!

Is this still the case for SABnzbd on Synology?

If I'm following this and other threads correctly, the "Cannot change permissions of /volume1/downloads/.." is nothing to worry about on a Synology. Unless you want to get rid of it by moving your folder to \volume1\Media\Content Downloads\..."

I just switched to a Synology from QNAP and am really surprised to see this type of error persisting here.

Hello
I installed yesterday Sabnzbd on Synology after years of windows
I successfully got rid of this error this morning by giving the incomplete folder total access for the group "users"

I run SABNZBD on Synology DSM 6.2 . One of my categories moves completed downloads to a share on another Synology via a mount point. I got rid of the error by setting the "Permissions for completed downloads" field on the SABNZBD/Settings/Folders tab to blank (i.e. I deleted '777' and saved the changes).

Many thanks for this info. Works with latest DS920+!

Thank you!!!
