SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

I've searched for an answer to my question several hours and I am now hoping to find my answer here.

Question:

I have tried the most combinations of ip-number and typing the \\10.0.1.1\"Drive Name"\"Download Folder"\ with different \ or / or \\ and the same ting with /"Airport Extreme Name"/"Drive Name"/"Download Folder"/.

I can edit and deleate files on the shared drive both with my logged on user account as well as with guest account.

Still all I get are folders in my stationary MacMini drive with the ip number or the airport extreme name. Nothing on the external USB APE connected drive.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

BR,
Piken

Are you using a remote disk from a Mac Mini on which SABnzbd runs?
If so, you need to mount that drive to the Mac's file system.
It can then be found at /Volumes under some name.
You need to use that /Volumes/Name path in SABnzbd.

SABnzbd runns on the internal MacMini drive. I would like to download all to my external that is connected to the APE directly.

Any external drive, either USB or networked needs to be mounted on /Volumes.
USB drives should normally mount automatic.
Networked drives can be auto-mounted in the login preferences of the account.

The problem with the auto-mounter is the path in /Volumes can be unpredictable. I had a drive named extdrive. Every day it would be mounted on a new path (/Volumes/extdrive-1, /Volumes/extdrive-2, etc.) Sucked for sabnzbd, I'd have to manually change the config all the time. The solution was to use /etc/fstab. I added a line like:

LABEL=extdrive /extdrive hfs rw,auto 1 2

This makes it ALWAYS mount on /extdrive. No more config issues.

This is a problem for me. I don't know what to tyoe as download folders search path.

The Airport Extreme is called "Casper"
USB HDD: "Macintosh HD" - here i'd like my downloads.

What do i type? //Casper/Macintosh HD/ ?
\\..\..\
\..\..
/.../...
/.../.../

etc. Please some help here? I dont get the dialog regarding mounted disks and access rights. I can copy and delete perfectly well from my mac mini to the usb conntected drive. It is shown inte the Finder menu.
