So, after installing SABnzbd for the 1st time, i starting doing some testing and messed up one of me shared drives, "Movies"

 

I had a movie on the cache drive that I manually tried to move to one of the shared drives in my array, "Movies"

 

I typed mv <titleofmovie> Movies instead of mv /<titleofmovie>/Movies/<titleofmovie>

The movie directory now appears in white instead of purple like it originally was and shows the following permission.

-rw------- 1 root root 78214 Sep 27 05:05 Movies

 

The system is currently doing a parity check.

 

How do I recover from this and how?

 

Thanks for all your help in advance.

 

This command does not look correct either:

mv /<titleofmovie>/Movies/<titleofmovie>

 

Use the "Move Now" button in the webGUI to move cache file in the future.

 

Enter "mv Movies <titleofmovie>" and see if that fixes things.

Ok, got you on using "Move Now"

Thanks for all the input y'all!

Using * in a file name is a bad idea. Use only alphanumeric, period, underscore, and hyphen. Definitely do not use the following: ? { } < | * \ > # ( ) [ ] $ “ ! % ^ @ & ` +

 

Those characters have special meaning to the shell.

 

dgaschk,

I wasn't trying to rename a file. I did not want to type out the entire file name so i USED  part of the filename plus"*" to move a folder.

 

Thanks for that advise though.
