January 30, 200917 yr bubba editing the conf file will only result in wtorrent "showing" the correct path (I mean as set by me in rtorrent) in its "add torrent" web page... doesn't solve that it's FOLLOWING rtorrent path anyway (and why) and as a side effect of this, the fact that I cannot dynamicaly choose the folder I want when I add each new torrent again: editing the wtorrent config file will probably just solve the "display" issue, not the very core of the problem wtorrent is our only choice as the other java based "client" is veeery limited rtorrent itself could be used (through the console) as also weebo proposed, but we have the problem with the console filtering ctrl characters (there is even a fix proposed in rtorrent's wiki and I can confirm it works, but unless you actually implement it IN bubbaRAID, it remains a temporary fix maybe someone is aware of a setting (a parameter, a trigger, whatever) that actually makes wtorrent ignore it's own preset path and follow rtorrent's path? because that is what is happening and it's too obvious a "bug" that NOBODY using wtorrent would have NOT noticed (and I don't mean people in here - using bubbaRAID - I mean people using wtorrent in general) - so it MUST be a setting
January 31, 200917 yr Author doesn't solve that it's FOLLOWING rtorrent path anyway (and why) and as a side effect of this, the fact that I cannot dynamicaly choose the folder I want when I add each new torrent There is only ONE place in all of wTorrent that the "disk1" path is... and that is in the config file I pointed to. The communications between rTorrent and wTorrent is a 2-way street, so wTorrent is possibly getting paths from rTorrent and using them.... or maybe rTorrent itself is moving them... I can't tell you. Since it does thi, to me I don't know WHY wTorrent even asks for a default path in it's config, but it does. Perhaps it is where is puts the .torrent initially, but then rTorrent takes it and moves it.... I dont' know. The wTorrent code is for crap, and I got a headache the first time I dug through it.... I don't wanna go back there!

I admittedly know very little about this, but doing a quick review of the rtorrent page, it seems that there are other php options aside from wtorrent, namely rtwi and rtGui. Have you considered those? You might find it easier to integrate one of those programs into bubbaRAID. Just thought I would throw the idea out there. Cheers, Matt

Cheers, Matt Definitely a great idea. http://projects.cyla.homeip.net/rtwi/ http://code.google.com/p/rtgui/
January 31, 200917 yr Author I nixed rtwi as it had a horribly complex method for user logins, that required adding users to the passwd file and creating sha1 hashes yourself, and editing a user database by hand. rtgui requires php compiled with "--with-xmlrpc[=DIR]" and rtgui has absolutely *no* security. You can use the java client, and run it completely remotely on your own PC if you want.
January 31, 200917 yr have you tried it? I think it is even more limited than wtorrent... ...anyway I hope someone with experience on wtorrent can hint us (/me) on what's wrong anyway looking forward to your next update
February 1, 200917 yr Author Problem is that there seems to be only 1 or 2 people who have a need to alter the defaults of /disk1/torrents... and everyone else seems to be doing fine. It is unfortunate to be the 1 or 2, but I can't spend disproportionate time on an issue that hits only 1 or 2 people who have unusual needs, and everyone else is OK. Even if I switched to rtwi, there is no guarantee that it would work for the 1 or 2 unusual cases either... so it would be wasted effort. Unless someone can say for certain that another app such as rtwi fixes the problem, or supply a patch for wTorrent, it is unlikely any changes will be made to the torrent setup in BubbaRaid in the near future.

Unless someone can say for certain that another app such as rtwi fixes the problem, or supply a patch for wTorrent, it is unlikely any changes will be made to the torrent setup in BubbaRaid in the near future. How about a simple script that runs from the comand line and takes the desired location as an argument and then sets both the rtorrent and wtorrent config files to that directory? (could be as simple as a couple of sed lines... at least making it so it only needs to be set once) Again just a thought, I don't mean to be stiring the pot, just trying to help find some middle ground. Provided you have the time to even program such a script. Cheers, Matt

You are right with your statistics, but isn't the point "making something work as it should"? 1-2 today, 10-20 next month. Don't forget torrents are usually about large files and not all people can afford to have all large files in one disk, or have all the large files both where they use them and duplicated where they seed them. I haven't requested you waste any effort, my post was exactly for what you write in your last paragraph above: IF SOMEONE KNOWS the solution, PLEASE tell us. How about a simple script that runs from the comand line and takes the desired location as an argument and then sets both the rtorrent and wtorrent config files to that directory?

Provided you have the time to even program such a script. Cheers, Matt This is one idea (in fact I was implying bubba at least does that), that will solve one problem: the display problem. This way in wtorrent we would at least show the proper default path (although we wouldn't fix the real bug that wtorrent doesn't follow the path WE WRITE in wtorrent interface). So the least I can think is either bubba allows us to edit wtorrent's config from inside the bubba pages (for example in the wtorrent config is also the path where .torrent files are stored which IS different than rtorrent's too), or indeed just make sure to copy automaticaly the two paths from rtorrent.rc to wtorrent's one. Probably more complex. This part above is what involves bubba's intervention (not solving wtorrent's bugs). I really hope someone can point us to the solution of the real problem (wtorrent's issue, not bubba's): (for the tenth time) wtorrent doesn't follow ANY path written in the web interface (so why is it there?).

Perhaps the best choice is to bring it up to the developers of wtorrent or search the ticket database. http://www.wtorrent-project.org/trac/report
February 1, 200917 yr Indeed this is what I plan to do, but I don't even know wtorrent's version in bubbaRAID.
February 3, 200917 yr I've toggled nzbget auto start on/off and it is still auto starting each time the RAID is turned on.
February 3, 200917 yr I've tried to install BubbaRaid but when I tried to enable_bubba I get the following error: '\\Tower\flash' CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported.

You have to have the flash drive plugged into your windows machine when you do this, it will not work otherwise. This part '\\Tower\flash' from above gives me the idea you are trying to do this through windows explorer, which can't be done.
February 3, 200917 yr Sorry I'm a bit rusty with Unix, I just installed BubbaRaid (and upgraded to 0.21) and everything is working great except for U-Notify. It successfully picked up the settings from a working copy I had running under standard Unraid. When I go to send a test message it gives me an error (line 492) saying "/usr/bin/unraid_notify: line 492: socat: command not found". I know I installed it under Unraid, but how do I install it under BubbaRaid or should it have installed but for some reason didn't? Thanks!

Thanks! socat does not reinstall automatically so you will need to reinstall it.
February 3, 200917 yr Thanks for the quick reply, while you were writing it, I did an installpkg socat and it started working of course. So I can just add the install to my go file I assume to make it work all the time?

So I can just add the install to my go file I assume to make it work all the time? Yup, you can do that or if your using unMenu then i am pretty sure there is a .conf to do the same thing.
February 3, 200917 yr Author Unfortunately, I did not add socat to BubbaRaid. It is only needed for secure e-mail transport (ehich I don't use) so I didn't catch it as needed. I will add it in the next major version of BubbaRaid with kernel changes.
February 3, 200917 yr Got it, thanks for the future enhancement. I forgot that I was using SSL, I need it with gmail... Everything is great now, thanks for all of your help.
February 3, 200917 yr Hi, I am unable to update bubbaraid to the latest version. I downloaded version .18 from the first post here and it installed successfully. Everything seems to be working fine. However, when I try to upgrade, it says: ---- You have BubbaRaid version:0.0.18-Beta You have unRAID version:BubbaRaid is not compatible with your version of unRAID (4.4). Upgrade availability:No: ---- I have Unraid verrsion 4.4.2 installed. Is there a way to force this to upgrade?
February 3, 200917 yr What is the file size of /boot/bzroot and /boot/bzimage ? /boot/bzroot 36,975kb /boot/bzimage 1,743kb
February 4, 200917 yr BubbaRAID and unMENU seem to be working happily with each other, so I'll just post my bubbaRAID specific questions here right now: 2 to begin with (I did a quick search for 'bubbaraid apcuspd' but didn't find much) 1. Even though apcuspd (via BubbaRAID) is checked to 'autostart', it does not autostart on unRAID server startup. Is there something else I have to do? Can I open one of the config files in notepad/mc and edit it manually to autostart when bubbaRAID is started? If so , how? (other checked applications are autostarting just fine) 2. Unraid notify (via BubbaRAID) seems to be configured correctly, and is sending me both hourly update and error emails. (via gmail, with appropriate script for secure login installed via unMENU) However, when I pull the power to my UPS, although the system is powering down properly after 60 seconds (test interval), no email is set to my gmail account. Is there some option to specifically enable apcuspd update emails through the config of either notify or apcuspd? What could be going wrong? One thing I can think of is that the unRAID system has no hard drives (trying to get the OS working properly from the flash first) - would this automatically stop all apcuspd emails (I don't see why, since the normal notify emails are still going through) (Once I get apcuspd working okay, it's onward to scheduling scripts - luckily, these seem to be a bit better documented and rsync, which doesn't seem to be as well documented )
