Synology DS212j Directories and space

[brig5150]

Trying to put SAB on my syn unit have 1 drive in unit 1tb. Cannot get directories to create in anything but usr section of drive. When I do that SAB gives only 1.75gb free space and pauses, I have over 800gb free.

Got to admit total newb with SAB and NAS unit but don't think it should be this difficult. Any help very much appreciated already wasted many hours.

Which SABnzbd package did you use (I believe there a few different versions)?

From where did you download it?

And which instructions did you follow to install and configure it?

[brig5150]

Thanks for the reply. The version says 0.6.15-2 and I used the package downloader an the NAS system, I've tried to install other versions problem being I don't really know which ones are proper for it. And i just followed a wizard supplied in the program. I previously had completed an install that somewhat worked (not the same release) on a HTPC. Then I noticed it could be used on the NAS if I could figure it out.

Can you access the webinterface of SABnzbd?

[brig5150]

Yes, I can

[sander]

Yes, I can

OK, that's great: via the webinterface you can set the Folders that SABnzbd should use. So ... point it to where the disk space is.

FYI: You probably have different partitions. And probably a small system partition (a few GB), and you big disk. SAB is now pointing to the small partition.

If you can ssh / telnet into the Synology, you could use

Code: Select all

df -h

to see the partitions and available space

HTH

That one blew right by me.

SAB is now pointing to the small partition.

"If you can ssh / telnet into the Synology, you could use

Code: Select all
df -h"

This is where the new to the nas part comes in.

I agree it is pointing to the small partition. I don't yet understand how to direct towards the other partition. Pretty much all i've used this thing for is external acces to files

[brig5150]

I do have the ssh / telnet services enabled.

[sander]

I do have the ssh / telnet services enabled.

And can you login to get a prompt? If so, type "df -h", and post the output here.

[brig5150]

I don't know where to get a prompt on the NAS

[brig5150]

I'm sorry. I'm sure this is super frustrating.

[sander]

So you have three partitions:

Code: Select all

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 2.3G 497.9M 1.8G 22% /
/tmp 121.8M 972.0K 120.9M 1% /tmp
/dev/vg1000/lv 912.5G 55.2G 857.2G 6% /volume1

You should point SABnzbd to somewhere to /volume1, both for Complete and Incomplete, and to a location that SABnzbd can write to. Just try.
