Cache as user share?

[dirrtyjoe]

Should the cache drive and/or folders within it show up as a user share by default?

 

I am using my cache drive for downloads:

/mnt/cache/Downloads/Complete

/mnt/cache/Downloads/Incomplete

 

but these same folders and and data within it are showing up in /mnt/user/Downloads/...

 

Should this be happening or did I do something to cause this?

They are being included in the user share until the mover script can move them onto the array.  Unless a directory starts with a ., it is considered to be a "cache" of data waiting to be written to the user share.

 

mkdir /mnt/cache/.downloads/<whatever>

Eve if not "moved" the contents of the cache drive are merged with the other directories and files in the user-share system.  It is by design.

 

As mentioned, if you do not want the directory merged, name the top level one with a leading period.  It will then be ignored by the user-shares.

trying to consolidate.  I created the .Download directory, updated all my programs to use that directory and tried deleting the old '/mnt/user/Download' & '/mnt/cache/Download' directories. It deletes fine but they re-created a few minutes later.

 

How do I fix that?

I've been able to to get one working, but I don't know exactly what I did differently than the others... is there a specific extension or text encoding or something these need?

 

I am using TextWrangler on a mac to edit/create them.

 

Here is one that is working for me:

#define USER_SCRIPT_LABEL Start SAB
#define USER_SCRIPT_DESCR Start SABnzbd
#UNMENU_RELEASE $Revision: 7 $ $Date: 2010-03-29 23:12:23 -0400 (Mon, 29 Mar 2010) $


echo "Starting SABnzbd"
python /mnt/cache/.custom/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d

 

and here is one, modeled after the one that is working, that does not work:

#define USER_SCRIPT_LABEL Stop SAB
#define USER_SCRIPT_DESCR Stop SABnzbd
#UNMENU_RELEASE $Revision: 7 $ $Date: 2010-03-29 23:12:23 -0400 (Mon, 29 Mar 2010) $


echo "Stopping SABnzbd"
wget -q --delete-after http://IP:PORT/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown&ma_username=UNAME&ma_password=PWORD&apikey=APIKEY

 

The CAPS items are obviously replaced with the specifics from my setup.

Clear the share entry on the shares page and click apply.
