andyd Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I have a drive formatted in NTFS from an old Windows server. This drive has content on it I delete often so I don't want it on my array. I shared the drive and added the path to sonarr...I went to download something and midway through downloading the file it stops writing to the drive. The only error I get is... Couldn't import episode /downloads/complete/sonarr/some-show.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta/213e25bcefff45df85372ff0be211490.mkv: Access to the path is denied. Which I'm very perplexed about because I do not get the same error when the save location is my array Anyone know what's going on? Can I not use the a mounted drive not on my array for downloads too? Destination showing read / write access and I can write to the disk on Windows from a smb share. Edited August 1, 2019 by andyd Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It sounds as if the drive drops offline temporarily? Not sure if it will affect things but if using an Unassigned Device you should have the Access Mode set to "RW/slave" mode in the path mapping. Quote Link to comment

If you install the Fix Common Problem plugin, it will flag all dockers with wrong type for you so you know which one to change. NTFS doesn't work really that well with Linux in general. If you are going to use a drive as a temp drive for Unraid, format it as XFS. Quote Link to comment
andyd Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Thanks guys! That plugin was helpful. It did mention having to change the access mode for that drive but I'm still running into the same issue. I'm trying to move things around so I can format to xfs and then try again Quote Link to comment
andyd Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 I think it might have been that it was taking a long time to transfer over. Not sure. I did format to xfs and it's working Thanks guys Quote Link to comment
