Hello,

I am using Unraid 4.7 free at the moment with 2 data and 1 parity disk. I want to buy a license so I can add a cache drive and some data disks. After that I want to configure SABNZB so that it will download and unpack to the cache drive and after that the files must be moved to specific folders in the array. Should the mover script be changed for that or do I need a post processing script for SABNZB to accomplish this? Or is there an easier way?

 

It will download by default to your cache drive

 

/mnt/cache/.sabznbd/somewhere or the other (personally mine goes to /mnt/cache/.downloads/ to make it easier to find)

 

If you movies going to their own folder in the array, set SABnzbd to move completed files in the movie category to

 

/mnt/cache/Video/Movies/  (or wherever your Videos are stored)

 

Now, when you browse through tower/Video/Movies, the recently downloaded movie will show up in there just like the rest of your movies, but will be read off of the cache drive.

 

Then, when you go to bed at night, at 3:15 am or so, the movie will move off of the cache and into the parity protected array. 

 

What's nice is that this is transparent; you won't even know if it's on the cache drive or the array if you're just browsing it in something like XBMC...

Better is to set the user share to use the cache disk and then use the share location at /mnt/user/[share name] for the final location. unRAID will then use the cache disk automatically. That way, if you happen to do something that fills the cache disk then the files will be copied directly to the data disks. Likely not a big deal with a 1T or 2T cache disk but it could be an issue with a smaller sized cache disk. Make sure you put in a fairly large minimum free space for the cache at the same time, say somewhere around 50gig (50000000).

This all sounds like mumbo-jumbo to me. share, cache, share location. Is there a step by step guide on how to accoplish this? Or can you explain it to me step by step. Besides, I am only using SABNZB, not Sickbeard or anything. I havent set up a cach disk yet, but it will probably be a 1 TB one. I mainly download DVD-rips (ISO and folder), Blu-ray rips (ISO and folder) in a separate user-share of 2 or 3 disks, and MKV-files.

I don't have time to write out a big long step-by-step. Can you not get the cache disk installed and go through the new settings? Can you also log onto your server and do some exploring directly? Then, you might understand some of the things you need to know.

I will try installing the cach drive first. And then see which settings can be changed. If I need assistance or things aren't clear I will report back.

 

It would be nice if there were some build-examples with all setting and possible caveats explained.

 

Another problem is the fact that the English language isn't my native tongue cause I am from Holland
