FreeNAS and SB and CP along with SABNZBD Directory Question

[ksman]

System ran smoothly for about 2 years until 3 weeks ago when i upgraded to most recent version 9.2.1.6.

Still can't get CIFS shares to work but for now i am running AFP shares. CIfS just keeps repeatedly saying can not start CIFS. Tried multiple times.

Installed SAB, SB and CP and they all talk properly. Manually adding a NZB to SAB and it downloads successfully. Added a movie to Couch Potato and it finds it and passes it off to SAB that then saves it in the
/var/db/sabnzbd/Downloads/complete/ as one would expect.

My question is this. I am not able to see my mounted volume in any the folder directors in any of the plugins. I obviously want to point to where i want my files put or where my tv's show structure sits. But under all 3 of the plug ins i get only a basic directory structure such as

/usr/pbi/sickbeard-amd64/etc/sickbeard

or something similar.

Am i just missing something on how i can point to /mnt/Volume1 ?

I see a /mnt in some of these directories but i don't know if its the same location or not as its generally blank.

I am sure ill kick myself as soon as i figure it out but until then i figure id ask for some opinions.

You presumably (hopefully) installed those packages in a jail--either a single jail or separate jails for each package. You need to check the manual for how to add storage to jails (and be aware that the "create directory" checkbox doesn't work).

yea i see the option to add the storage to each jail. Seems simple enough. I read the instructions but in the guide but i get an error message when i try them. See the below screen grab of the error. Is it an issue do you think that my jail is within my storage mount?

error: The path could not be mounted /mnt/Volume1: Mount failed (64) -> mount_nullfs: /mnt/Volume1 (/mnt/Volume1) and /mnt/Volume1/jails/sickbeard_1 are not distinct path

You are trying to do some weird recursive mount.
My advice is to..

1. create a dataset for your downloads/media, lets say Volume1/media
2. Mount this dataset instead of your root dataset (Volume1)
