Again super appreciate the help. Everything you said makes sense, I'm only just getting to the stage of setting up my book stack. Makes sense that the other apps (calibre, audiobookshelf) will look after moving those files maybe, getting to that stage. What is the expected behavior after download in that case? If the app isn't working to move the files or anything what is it looking for with the downloaded files? Also I had a late thought to check that the container had the share "mounted" correctly and could see the files inside. All showing as expected if I cd /books/ then ls it shows the files in the /downloads folder as setup in unraid setup.

Thanks for reply. Attached images of the edit in unraid. Thats just the current folder setup for shelfmark, as mentioned I have tried /mnt/user/Downloads, /mnt/user/downloads/complete, /mnt/user/books. What are the actual definitions of the paths? They aren't clear to me, or I thought they were but obviously not. I thought "download book download path" would be the dir files are downloaded into. But also downloader client path sounds similar? Assumption would be that "direct download" (assuming this means AA downloads?) would use "download book download path" and if usenet used, (i.e. NZBget in my instance) would be the "downloader client path" which is the path the usenet client stores the files after downloading. Even if that is the case all downloads in the SS should all land in the same place, which the app should have access to. The next question is how does the app then move the files into the correct share? Sorry if not clear and thank you again in advance of any help.

I'm having same/similar issue with mapping errors. I've switched the paths but am having the same issue between both. I can search and start the download but after the download is finished it gives me the error that the downloaded path isn't accessable by the app. My setup is using nzbget, which has a dedicated 'share' /mnt/user/downloads/* which all my apps will reach into after the download is complete to pull the files and move them to their own shares. For books it would be /mnt/user/Books. I have tried (i think) all iterations of swapping these paths between book download path and downloader client path, including the absolute path for /mnt/user/downloads/complete which is where the files should be moved to in the final process on nzbget's side. This was tested last as other apps just needed the parent. If anyone can point in the right direction here would super appreciate.

Final update by the looks. Parity rebuild failed after 15 hours. Now the disk isn't showing after reboot. The drive itself is plugged into... a thingy you get with servers. Where is splits off into multiple sata/power connecters to plug in drives. One of the connecters was already broken so I don't have a spare to swap to check. Sata ports on the MB don't seem to work either? Maybe a configuration issue in bios but I couldn't be bothered troubleshooting on the main server. I'll pull the drive next weekend and load it onto a test bench to get some SMART results. Last thing I'm hoping for help with is help finding the right part for replacement. So i have HP Proliant ML150 Gen 9, I have one set of drives that have caddies that I can slide in and out from the front. The other is the default cage and is a PIA to remove. Would like it replaced with similar, but google is only finding me drive trays. I realise this is pebkac problem and I'm not searching the right thing but I'm not sure what I should be searching.

Sorry for the delay, was restoring some backups and stuff. Since last post I have done the following: Stopped array. Couldn't the normal drill down settings screen where you start the smart test for troubled drive. Started array. AB Stopped Array. AB Started in Maintenace. AB Rebooted server. Performed smart test (short). Said that it finished without error. There were 100 reallocated sectors and another that I can't remember right now. Re-assigned the drive to P1 and I have started the rebuild. carvahall-diagnostics-20250309-2222.zip

Morning, First off, I ignored the instructions in the documentation regarding preclearing drives before installing. "What's the chances this will affect me?" Hubris came to me this morning. Situation: I have replaced my two Parity drives at the same time, setup a 'new config' while maintaining array devices, the two old parity drives were then removed and added as array drives, replacing 2 x 1TB drives that did have data on them. This morning the Parity sync failed/paused due to write error's on one of the drives. I resumed the sync with the error'ed drive offline so that I have one drive up and running for coverage before looking into this disk to see if I have a bad egg or something else. After resuming I noticed that docker wasn't running, and was failing to start. Going to the logs, I could see that NGNIX was reporting out of shared memory errors. Realised that when I removed one of the drives, it had my docker images and data on it. Don't know how or why ngnix was starting without an image or data but \o/. The interesting thing was 2-3 minutes after these memory error's stopped, is when the disk errors started. It seems like a weird coincidence of interchange of errors? I'm waiting for the Sync to finish before doing much more troubleshooting, according to the very accurate estimated time remaining its just under 2 hours. Mainly wanted to post up incase the shared memory flagged an issue or further troubleshooting required. carvahall-syslog-20250308-2318.zip
