SABnzbd Forums

When downloading I sometimes see a warning  icon (triangular European style road sign) next to 0.00 GB Free (Temp) 56.39 GB Free Space . All the directories for sabnzbd are on the same drive (/) and it has lots of space.

The icon only appears sometimes, and only when downloading. Once it appears, I think it stays until I restart sabnzbd.

Which skin are you using?

I am using Plush.

It happened again, so I was able to see what happened.  Once the warning icon shows up, any further downloads fail with write errors:

2008-08-20 01:48:13,319::ERROR::[assembler] Disk error on creating file /Users/syth/Desktop/usenet/incomplete/...

repeated over and over for each file.  Stopping sabnzbd and restarted it sorts everything out, though I have to reload any nzbs that it failed to download.

There is nothing for nearly 2 hours before that in the log file, but once the errors start, it's all over.

It's a reaction to the Operating System telling SABnzbd that it cannot write a file.
So either disk full or no permission to write on /Users/syth/Desktop/usenet/incomplete

But the disk is not full (No where near, 30-70GB free at all times) and the permissions do not change between stopping sabnzbd and restarting it: And there's not enough info in the logs to see what the issue is.  Fixing it takes stopping sab and simply starting it up again.

Do you have logging set to "debugging" level (on the Connections) Page ?
Do this and zip the set of log files to bugs at sabnzbd.org (add the link to this forum post).
Maybe it can tell us more.
