Random truncation (or corrupted) files on CIFS/SAMBA Share

[cdemi]

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4949
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 3.10.0
OS: Ubuntu
Description of issue:
Lately, I have been noticing many TV Shows files arriving truncated on the Sonarr folder.

The original files (download from NZBGet) are OK but when Sonarr (on Ubuntu) picks them up to move them to my CIFS/SAMBA share, randomly the files are just truncated.

I can’t figure out what the problem is and how to solve it. Does anyone have the same issue or maybe an idea of how to solve it?

NZB Drone Post-Processor, end of file gets cut off when moving across network

I have NZB Drone and sabnzbd on a linux box and my tv collection on a windows share. When NZB Drone moves shows to the windows share it often times doesn't complete the job leaving off the last 100-500MB of the file. I tried moving NZB Drone to the windows machine and this problem went away. For some reason this only happens when I am running NZB Drone on the linux box. I really would rather keep NZB Drone on the linux box. I looked through the logs and couldn't find any helpful information abou…

I recalled this thread. General consensus seems to be “move away from CIFS/SAMBA asap”…

Yes Thirrian is right. That was the main reason i moved from Rasberry PI installation to the MAC OS cause more than enough files were truncated at the end.

Not to jump in late to the pool but have you tried using NFS/SSHFS instead? NFS here and it’s working great.

For what it’s worth, this seems to be a problem across an LXC mount bind as well. I have sonarr and nzbget running on the same container, Nzbget download directory and sonarr destination directory both bound to same physical hard disk on the host, and still getting random truncating errors. As far as I know, no CIFS/smb involved. That’s not to say that I’m not getting random truncation on a remote folder as well (I am–an old series on a NAS I was/am using before upgrading storage on local machine.)
