SB deletes my /mnt/downloads files...

[MtK]

Hey,
SB post-processor decided it's a good idea to delete things from /mnt/download:

Code:

POSTPROCESSER :: Deleting folder: /mnt/downloads/...

which is this case was a movie that obviously should have not been processed by SB (but by CP), which has been working good until recently.

is there any way to prevent this (without splitting the download locations)?

why don't you want to split the download locations? just setup categories, when sabnzbd downloads something it puts it in that subdirectory and this will never happen to you again.

and/or use script post-processing instead of scanning. post-processing will happen immediately and your SB/CP daemons won't be constantly searching for files wasting CPU/IO.

I use categories and script post-processing (thanks to nzbToMedia) in my setup, described on my blog. Google "jruehlig freenas" if you are interested.

well, first of all, cause I have no idea why it stopped working (actually started deleting) because it was working fine (not deleting).
second, cause I'm using Transmission and most of the things are manually downloaded and later (after download) post-processed by the app (CP/SB)...

CP and SickRage (but not SB) both have API support for transmission, they can tell transmission to put completed downloads in a specific folder. you can also tell transmission to run a post-processing script instead of using directory scanning.

this is all covered in the same blog post I mentioned earlier.

again, this was already working in the past (probably changed in a recent SB update).
Transmission already puts finished downloads in its local /mnt/downloads which is mounted into the FREENAS's Download location, where both CP/SB take their files from.
