I have an issue that I know is not a but but a result of the way unraid works, I wonder if someone has found a way to work around this.

 

Situation:

 

Incomming media files (movies, series) are saved in the user share "Incomming", that share is limited to one disk (disk8).

 

Movies and Series are on multiple array disks (but NOT on disk8).

 

Now whenever Sickbeard or Couchpotatoe downloads a file it is saved on the incomming share on disk8, no problem.

 

In post-processing both Sick and Couch write the file to /mnt/user/Movies or /mnt/user/Series.

 

Now ofcourse the idea is that these files are movies to the disks that belong to the share, HOWEVER... Unraid moves the files to a /mnt/disk8/Movies or /mnt/disk8/Series.

 

Both Movies and Series do not belong on disk8.

 

I know this happens because the user share concept really only works on a mounted share, and not thru console. The only thing I can think of is letting Sickbeard and Couchpotato write directly to a disk share and changing that direct share whenever disks get full.. It kind of defeats the flexibility of unraid so I am wondering if there is another trick I can use.

Make Incoming a cache only share with all Exports set to No.

Sounds nice but my cachedrive is a small ssd and not suited to that task.. You are on to something though.. What if I keep incomming on a non array disk mounted by snap.. Would that work also ?
