Issue with Download Folder

[sujithgokul]

Hello All,

This is my first post. So please forgive me if I am doing something wrong about the forum rules.


I have installed sabnzbd on my ubuntu 11 machine. Everything works fine except for one minor issue. I have configured the downloads folder as below:


Temporary Download Folder: /media/Elements/Downloads/UseNet/In Progress
Completed Download Folder: /media/Elements/Downloads/UseNet/Complete

Everytime when I restart my machine (Not when I restart the app) the incomplete folder gets reset to the default folder(something like downloads/incomplete) and the completed folder remains the same. I am not sure whether the space in my folder name is causing this issue or not. Any thoughts???

That SAB behaviour will happen when the directory is not available at the moment SAB starts.

So: Is "/media/Elements" a USB harddisk, network drive or NAS?

If so: Solution/workaround: only start SABnzbd when that directory is available.

My directory is in an external USB. Thanks a lot. I will have to google and find out how to do "delayed" start for my service

Write a short perl script for example. I've done the same so that the script first mounts a network drive as local, let it wait for three seconds and then load the program. Should work fine.
