When I use Terminal:
greg@greg-HP-Compaq-8200-Elite-CMT-PC:~$ cd /mnt/Misc/Movies
greg@greg-HP-Compaq-8200-Elite-CMT-PC:/mnt/Misc/Movies$
When I am trying to install the above I get:
Unable to add root folder
Path ‘/mnt/Misc/Movies’ does not exist
I am trying to have Sonarr start to download, etc.
I do not know what I am doing wrong. the /mnt/ is at lowest point in terminal and Misc is a 3tb hard drive and Movies is a regular forum which allowes everybody everything. I can change the name Misc but I don’t think it will make any difference.
Misc is at /mnt/ and Misc has the following folders (all of which are empty):
Audio
TV
Movies
I am using sabnzbdplus and these are also all Categories as well. In sabnzbd I have complete, incomplete and next for my folders in my Downloads folder just in case this counts (up to now most everything I download end up in the complete folder 9sabnzbd is not forwarding to /mnt/Misc/files.
I figured this was a problem with following symlinks but your issue suggests that Sonarr’s API may not be able to navigate cross-device links?
I’m running 4.0.15.2941-ls288 by linuxserver.io on OKD 4.20.0-okd-scos.ec.5. NFS PVC is mounted and accessible via the pod’s debug terminal and files are created/updated properly, so mount structure shouldn’t be an issue. Since the k8s PVC does the NFS redirection prior to the software mount, the linking is transparent to the application.
For your case, if there’s a way to run the containerized version of Sonarr and pass your drive location in as a volume mount instead, that might resolve this issue.
For all the -v lines - especially the /path/to/tv one - you can do this line multiple times to mount all your TV storage paths to locations in the container. Make the second argument on each one something different, like /tv1, /tv2 etc (these will be paths inside the container).
Once the container is running, you can access it via localhost:port.
My confusion is, I thought, pretty simple. I can goto my terminal and give it this command:
cd /mnt/Misc/Movies and it takes me right there yet sonarr tells me its not there. I tried /mnt/Misc but it couldn’t write to a plain hard drive so I put Movies,TV, Audio folders in Misc. They are all there. Properties/Permissions are ALL “Create and Delete Files”
There is absolutely no reason I know of why Sonarr keeps on telling me that the files are not there!
Thanks again. I am giving thought to doing that installation. I just fear that I will be digging me a deeper hole until I can figure this one out.
I fixed my problem. I set the entire 3tb hard drive to all permissions to be Create and Delete files. Suddenly I have the ability to start making root folders!
