SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

Is it possible, by using a special setting for example, to show the free/used disc space of all discs, also the mounted once?

I have Sabnzbd configured to download to the folder ~/Downloads/ and when downloaded to move to ~/Movies/
~/Dowloads/ is a normal folder on my primary disc.
~/Movies/ is a mountpoint to the folder /mount/Element_1T5/Movies

Unfortunately Sabnzbd currently only shows the disc free/used space of the primary disc, I guess because sabnzbd 'thinks' that it's the only the disc i'm downloading and moving to.
I know from my old windows version that the disc space indicator is based on the downloadfolders of sabnzbd.
Is there a way to let Sabnzbd show the disc space of my mounted disc? Or should I make a hard link (/mount/Element_1T5/Movies) for this in the config of sabnzbd to make it work?

Thanks Spikey

Hmm, If you set your temporary download folder to ~/Downloads/ and your folder for completed downloads to ~/Movies/ this should automatically work.

In the topright corner of SABNzbd (plush gold) you see the diskspace left on your temp. download location (in your case ~/Downloads) AND ALSO your disk space in the completed downloads location. See:

Yeah... that's what I want...
But I guess it doesn't work that simple because I use a symbolic link for Movies.
I'm using the following settings in sabnzbd:

Folder:
Default Base Folder: /home/myHome Categories:
Relative folders are based on: /home/myHome/Downloads/Complete I know of my previous windows configuration that this way type of configuration should do the job (and I tested it last weekend again to be sure). Unfortunately it seems not on ubuntu.

I also tried with a full path to the external hdd in catogories (/media/Elements_1T5/Movies/), but it doesn't want to show the second hdd in the top right corner.

Anyone Ideas?

Thanks Spikey

Nobody any idea what else could cause the problem?

Actually we shouldn't show the size of the destination disk.
For each category you could set another drive.

Oke, if that's so why do in some cases (like on my windows configuration) is the disc size of all "used" drives shown?

And I actually don't see any reason why you shouldn't show the size (or free space) of the destination disk(s)?
I would find it pretty useful since I run SABnzbd on a XBMC-live machine on which i rarely see how much free space I've left.

So again is there anyone who know how I can get this working on a Ubuntu system?

I now see that I've had it wrong al the time... Sorry

Marcoevich was right, but I read it wrong. What he said was, if I set the temporary folder to a other path (drive) than the download folder SABnzbd will show me two disks with the two free spaces.

I didn't noticed this the first time because I was so focused on the category settings. On my Windows system I have had different temp and download folders since the beginning and for a good reason, but on ubuntu system I rather have them on the same drive and only movies and series should be copied to my external hdd.

Hmm. still doesn't solve the problem that I can't see the free space on my external hdd with the configuration I really want, but at least I now know what 'causes' it and how I can 'fix' it.

Thanks Spikey
