I just setup NZBDrone and haven’t “Disks” is monitoring two partitions on a hard drive that should be irrelevant to the entire process. It’s probably the first two partitions. Is that normal? I would rather it was monitoring nothing, or monitoring the actual partitions and external drives that are being used. Or is it a sign I have nzbdrone configured wrong, and it’s about to eat up space on partitions I don’t intend to use for this. I hope that makes sense.
Drone lists all attached hard drives in that list.
I have a zfs drive mounted in Linux that is not detected in this list, and it is where the media is stored.
Depends how its exposed to mono, I know mounted shares are an issue: https://trello.com/c/nrLS6gqn/444-free-space-on-ubuntu-doesn-t-include-mounted-shares
I’ll read that article. Thanks.
Will NZBDrone remain a Windows-designed product for the foreseeable future?
Not sure what you mean here, care to elaborate?
Thanks Markus. What I mean is, and I may have this wrong, is that this product requires “Mono” because it’s Windows-based, not Linux-based. Or maybe I’m wrong about that. I was therefore just wondering if a native Linux version might be down the pike.
drone is written in C# (which uses the .net framework), mono is an opensource implementation of the .net framework for use on other operating systems.
mono isn’t “native” to Linux, but neither is python or php, interpreters are still installed to process code written in those languages, even .net isn’t native to Windows (though it does ship with it now).
In the last year we have seen mono improve greatly and more recently even more so. Its not perfect and not quite as good as .net on Windows, but its getting better and we’re getting better utilizing it.
TL:DR We’re not going to rewrite it in another language, we have spent a significant number of hours on drone, which would be almost entirely lost. We’re on the mono train and the outlook is looking great.
Thanks for the education. I’m on the mono train, too, then. I love this project! I’ll read up on operating it some more. And maybe I can help out here with some non technical projects, like contributing to wikis or something.
Success! We definitely could use some help in that department, we try to make it useful, but its a balancing act.
