OK, this is a bit convoluted and there’s nothing you can do to help me, but I wanted to at least flag this.
I’m new user and just installed the latest stable release on my mac mini - latest software, all patches applied.
I installed and configured everything according to the book, and everything looked good.
When I tried to download a show I discovered that the folder selection wouldn’t let me browse the tree on my Synology NAS.
I decided to give beta3 a go in case it handled file system differently.
The upgrade worked but the error remained.
After several attempts I discovered an article telling me about giving /bin/sh all disk access.
Once this one done, everything seemed to work.
I added a second show for download using the newly available file system.
Then I noticed that the original show was still trying to download to the root of my synology, so I changed it.
that’s when the horror struck. The entire root contents of my NAS has been wiped out with the exception of the media folder. You even wiped out the recycle bin. I’ve lost 8TB of data. I’m not 100% blaming Sonarr but frankly, there’s no chance it was anything else but you.
When you changed it did you tell Sonarr to move the files? If so Sonarr would try to move the series folder from the path it was originally set to to the new path you set. If not, it wouldn’t do anything.
Unless Sonarr is upgrading a file it doesn’t delete anything automatically (and even then it just deletes the file and it’s associated metadata). If you tell Sonarr to delete a series (or all series) in v3 you have the option to delete the data with it, but that doesn’t happen on it’s own.
It’s unclear exactly what steps you took, but beyond Sonarr being the vessel that deleted/moved when told I don’t see how Sonarr is at fault here.
yes I did ask it to move files. I assumed that if it had downloaded anything, it would move it to the new place and carry on.
yeah like I said, I’m not 100% blaming Sonarr either. But the basically facts are that I know what I’m doing with a keyboard (though I do make mistakes). I’ve had a media server set up for several years that works well. I’ve just added Sonarr to it and while pressing buttons, I saw my synology empty - except for the media folder. I’m the only user on the network. All that points to something going wrong with Sonarr.
I don’t know that they run as root but they certainly have full disk access. The mac security model is a mystery to me.
Would you be able to send all the log files (System: Log Files) and recent events (System: Events) (upload them and link them here), depending on the log level they may not tell us much, but hopefully we can get something from them.
