SABnzbd Forums

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.

Allllrighty....

Could anyone show me the right place to ask this question in that case?

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.
