Download DIR Permissions unRAID cache drive

Hi,

I am migrating my SAB, SB, CP setup from my unRAID server to my new ubuntu server. I still wish to have the Completed Folder set up as /mnt/cache which lives on the unRAID box.

I have set up a mount to /mnt/cache on the ubuntu server called the same... /mnt/cache

I can ssh into the box and look at that folder and see any content in there.

When I try and save the folders tab in config with /mnt/cache in the Downloads Folder box I get the following error...

Incorrect parameter
Cannot create complete_dir folder /mnt/cache

I assume this is because the SAB setup on the ubuntu server is running as my username on that box and the /mnt/cache mount is not, it's root from the unRAID server.

How can I use the /mnt/cache folder as the Completed Downloads folder?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

simpic

As far as SABnzbd is concerned, everything is part of the local file system.
It's up to you to make sure mounting and access rights are properly done.
The user account under which SABnzbd runs must have full access to /mnt/cache.

Is it possible to have SAB (and SB for that matter) running as 'nobody' on ubuntu server?

Better just fix the actual problem: the permissions on that share. Everything else only unnecessarily complicates things.

Ok,

Does anyone have any ideas of how to sort the share permissions out? Really stuck here.
