[ProFTPD Plugin for unRAID v6.8.x]

Hi, thanks for making this plug-in available for us.

I am having exactly the same issue as Quad' above, ie. when trying to install the plugin the script aborts with this message:

 

plugin: installing: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlrG/unRAID/master/Plugins/ProFTPd.plg
plugin: downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlrG/unRAID/master/Plugins/ProFTPd.plg
plugin: downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SlrG/unRAID/master/Plugins/ProFTPd.plg ... done
Cleaning up previous install files...
Executing selfremoval commands if present...
...Cleanup complete!
Downloading any missing plugin files...
Latest plugin control files downloading
...Unable to download missing plugin control files. Aborting install
plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1
 

Now, I am not as clever as Quad and despite trying to follow his solution I am always getting the same error message.

UnRaid 6.4.0, other plugins install and run fine and plenty of bandwidth is available.

 

I'd appreciate any ideas to make it work.

 

 

[File Permissions issues Root vs nobody [Solved]]

Thought append my solution here. Not really mine but took some time to find it and it worked for me.

 

Problem: Transmission cannot save files into data directory: Permission denied error. Run as nobody, permissions repaired, still no go.

 

This worked:

"Re: Permission denied

by endle

 

I was having a very similar issue, and also have scoured the web looking for possible solutions. Finally it dawned on me, so I wanted to post this here for posterities sake:

 

Currently, I have a seperate hard-drive mounted as /mnt/Downloads and then I sym-link to that from my home-folder.

 

After trying every possible configuration of permissions, I finally figured out that Transmission wanted the direct path to the Downloads folder (/mnt/Downloads) rather than my sym-link path of /home/me/Downloads

 

Once I did this, and then restarted transmission-daemon, the permission errors went away"

 

So in Transmission config I replaced //Downloads to //mnt/user/Downloads, restarted Transmission, success! :-)))

 

 

[utserver (uTorrent) Plugin for unRaid 5.0]

Answering my own questions 

 

1. Torrents stopped, unable to restart: this was caused by a member disc becoming full!  Remember to associate uTorrent download directory in Settings with an existing share rather than with a disc.

 

2. Unable to delete files/folders from Mac: telnetted into unraid then did delete from command line. It is more like a workaround but worked well.

 

 

 

 

[utserver (uTorrent) Plugin for unRaid 5.0]

Hi,

 

wonder if someone could help me with these.

 

1. I had to reboot my server the other day. After reboot all torrents are stopped, not seeding and I am unable to restart the seed (their status is STOPPED). The buttons do nothing. However, If I add a new torrent, both downloading and seeding are fine, even after completion. 

 

2. When I mount the unraid share containing the apps/downloads on my Mac I cannot delete files/dirs from the download dir - this seems to be some ownership issue which I do not understand.

 

Can you guys please help, both are pretty important.

Now that looks good indeed. Never realized that you could fit two 3.5" drives into the top compartment. 

Will now buy an eSATA-SATA and a molex to 2 SATA power cable. Maplin parts reserved.

 

Thanks guys for all the great info.

 

 

Hi guys I have 5x2TB Samsung F4 unRaid build (with the modded BIOS) working just fine. To increase capacity (having the 6th drive license) I was thinking to add another F4 in a separate enclosure and connect it to the microserver with an eSATA-eSATA cable.  Will this work ?

Thanks.

 

Or just put the 5th and 6th drive in the 5.25" bay? See this post for more info: http://www.avforums.com/forums/14738494-post576.html

Thanks. I already have a spare F4 in a system I built for ripping and compressing my DVD/BluRay collection with MakeMKV/Handbrake and having finished the project (many-many weeks) that extra drive is coming out. It certainly deserves a place on top of the microServer! 

 

Any ideas about a reasonable enclosure?

 

 

It should work fine.

 

Just be careful to not knock the cable out. That could cause problems.

 

I would also spend a few extra bucks to make sure the drive enclosure is a decent quality so you don't cook the drive under heavy loads. I have seen some cheap one do that.

 

you could also buy a prebuilt external and it might cost less. like a WD or Seagate 2TB external with Esata.

(although they seem to be getting rare with USB3 being the newest rage)
