Unraid keeps making shares and messing up my config

[christobaass]

I have some downloaders pointing to /mnt/ssd/downloads.

However, downloads usually fail to import and then I see that unRAID created a share folder called "downloads" and it makes it impossible for Sonarr to import downloads. How can I stop this from continuing to happen? It's driving me bonkers.

All top level folders are user shares do it is expected that a share called downloads would appear.   I suspect that there is some other problem such as the permissions on the folder or files that the downloaders set.

i've definitely been having permissions issues. i've been starting/ restarting my containers trying to figure this out, and i've had to sudo chown a few folders to allow things to work. it's still making the shared downloads folder and i'm not sure why, but sonarr is now able to import things.

That is the same as /mnt/user/downloads

 

When you create a folder on the root of any of the array drives or pools, it is a user share. That's how user shares work. If you don't want a downloads share, you will need to set up a pool only share with some other name, and put downloads inside that share, like /mnt/ssd/othersharename/downloads
