NFS shares on Catalina - Sonarr conflict due to 'System' folder

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.3.654
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.18.0.268
OS: macOS 10.15.1
Debug logs: here
Description of issue: Due to the new folder structure on Catalina, Sonarr cannot use NFS mounted shares. For example, the location of NFS shares on my system are here:

/System/Volumes/Data/Mounts/Videos

When trying to update the ‘Root’ folder or series locations, Sonarr gives the following error:

19-11-13 07:56:37.1|Warn|SonarrErrorPipeline|Invalid request Validation failed:
– Path: Is child of system folder /System

Full debug file located here.

This is where NFS is mounted automatically?
Is it possible to use a different location?

We may be able to avoid this issue for volumes, but it’s a bit tricky.

No, I don’t think so. This was one of the big changes to the file structure on Catalina. Previously the base-mount-path was Users. On Catalina the base-mount-path is now /System/Volumes/Data/Users.

See more detail in link below:

i was able to work around by making a symbolic link in /Volumes/Videos that points to the NFS mount at /System/Volumes/Data/Mounts/Videos
