ERROR: Cannot create directory

Post by clarky000 »

Im running on a rasperry pi2 with an external hard drive with Raspibian Jessie. Im seeing this error repeatedly and it causing me greif...

Pretty sure I've got the permissions set on the drive. Mount command returns:
/dev/sda1 on /media/pi/TOSHIBA EXT type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2)

After looking at a different post I tried changing "wait_ext_drive" in special from 5 to 10 but no diff.

(I'd post an extract from the logs but the forum wont let me?)


Help!

When do you get the error? Only during startup or during downloading to?

During download. Often runs for days before I find the warning in the log

There is nothing specific you can change from SABnzbd. Seems the external drive is just not available, but seems unclear why.
Maybe indeed a timeout, what does the last line of the error say in the log? "directory not found"?
