Adding New Drives - Directory Structure Question

[rainmaker002]

Hopefully this question can be answered easily enough...

 

My hdd's were filling up, so I put in a new one, it's /mnt/disk6/ and has been added to my array.

 

My habit when downloading stuff is to download to a hdd directory rather than /mnt/user/downloads, so I download new files to /mnt/disk5/downloads

 

I created /mnt/disk6/x264 thinking it would be part of /mnt/user/x264, but when I copy new files into it, they don't show up when I browse /x264 via smb.

 

Is there something I need to do to get manually created directories on /mnt/disk6/ to show up in the corresponding directories in /mnt/user?

 

Thanks!

You don't have to do anything to get it to work. You got the name the same, including capitalization?

 

If it's named right and really not working then try a reboot.

Check the permissions. What does "ls -l /mnt/disk5" and "ls -l /mnt/disk6" show?

[rainmaker002]

drwxrwx--- 104 nobody users 3680 2012-03-26 10:37 x264/

^-- that's disk5

 

 

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 304 2012-04-13 19:43 x264/

^-- that's disk6

 

Permissions have been a bit of an issue for me ever since moving to version 5.  Downloads in transmission and sabnzbd seem to have different permissions.  Sometimes I can access them, sometimes I can't.  That's a different problem altogether which has been a pita, but I guess it's related if these two directories have different permissions?

Run the New Permissions script.  You have to make sure that all the add-ons and CLI operations result in the correct permissions.

Running the new permissions script, and then rebooting, did the trick.  Thanks!
