I'm having issues getting to work SABnzbd with unraid 4.7 permissions.

 

My system is set up as:

• unRAID 4.7 on a standalone server
  
• SABnzbd is installed in a different machine (Ubuntu Server 12.04 x64)
  
• Download folder is unRAID server is located at /mnt/cache/.downloads
  
• The cache folder in unRAID is mounted in the ubuntu server as /mnt/tower/cache. Mounting is done through SMB in the fstab (//192.168.1.131/cache /mnt/tower/cache cifs credentials=/home/ubuntu/.smbcredentials 0 0)
  

The file .smbcredentials is:

  username=root

  password=***** (unRAID login password)

 

and the user running SAB in the Ubuntu server is 'ubuntu' (not very original  ).

 

The issue I'm having is trying to configure the download folder in the SAB configuration as /mnt/tower/cache/.downloads. The mounting works and I can see the files, but when I restart SAB I get the error message:

2012-11-26 19:49:45,911::ERROR::[misc:370] complete_dir directory: /mnt/tower/cache/.downloads/ error accessing

 

which I'm guessing is a file/folder permissions issue, but since I'm a completely linux noob, I don't know how to sort it. 

 

I sorted it by changing the samba mount in fstab to:

 

//192.168.1.131/cache /mnt/tower/cache cifs credentials=/home/ubuntu/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
