Sonarr can't 'see' Google Drive mount point folder (Solved)

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4645
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 4.2.3
OS: Ubuntu Server 14.04

Description of issue: Hello, for some reason sonarr can’t see my google drive mounted folder (ocamlfuse), if im browsing for it in the root folder selection like in a series it doesn’t show up at all.

Sab can see it and write to it and Ubuntu can see it and write to it as well, Sonarr worked for a little bit then stopped, thanks for the help

Does the user running Sonarr have permissions to access it and it’s subfolders?

[cm0002]

Yes, sonarr is running under the main user I use to log in as well as ocamlfuse

I posted this in another thread, but it should be similar for your situation. Replace ‘nzbdrone’ with the user account that Sonarr uses.

Go into the terminal and run these commands to become user ‘nzbdrone’

sudo -i su - nzbdrone

You will now be nzbdrone. Try to browse

cd /mnt/google/drive/ (change to your path)

Try to write a file

touch test

Somewhere along the way you are going to get an error here, let me know at which point you cannot proceed further.

I get:
admuser@localhost:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for admuser:

root@localhost:~# su - nzbdrone

No passwd entry for user ‘nzbdrone’

TOP also reports that its running under the username of my account

[gtwy]

After running su - nzbdrone, did your terminal look like:

nzbdrone@localhost:~$

Or did it just get stuck at “No passwd entry”?

[cm0002]

yea it just fell back to root

Something is wrong with the account. Diagnose that first. You need to be able to su into it.

[cm0002]

Sabnzbd runs on the same account and reads and writes perfectly, as well as correct permissions on folders.

so im not sure if it could still be somthing with the account or something else

[gtwy]

Well, we can’t diagnose writing permission issues if you can’t su into the account. I’d suggest trying to fix it, even if you don’t think it’s related, so that you can continue troubleshooting your main issue.

[cm0002]

Ok is sonarr supposed to run under its own user account, because right now it’s running under the main one I login to ‘admuser’, since my last reply I have also began to use Amazon Cloud Drive and have mounted it to a local folder through acd_cli

And it can’t see the Amazon folder either, I do know that the only similarity between Google drive and Amazon mount points is the fact that FUSE is what provides the actual mounting for the file system

[cm0002]

I solved it

the mount point for both has to be mounted with the fuser option “allow_other”, you have to uncomment the allow_other line in the conf file /etc/fuse.conf.

then mount acd with

acd_cli mount --allow-other /mountpoint

or for google drive

google-drive-ocamlfuse -o allow_other mount /mountpoint
