Can't copy to external HDD using samba

@samyH

Ahhhhh ok finally it’s showed up again as not mounted - how can I get this to work as it did before? Do I have to give it the same name when it was mounted the first time?

don’t understand this. Are you going to unplug the drive during operation? usually it should stay mounted of you don’t detach it.

[samyH]

Guess the wire must have got knocked when cleaning - so do I just give it the same name when I mounted it last and all the paths should link up again right?

[Joulinar]

Usually yes

[samyH]

Phew ok all back up and running - new and improved! Now to tape it all up and hide it somewhere no one can touch it lol

Thanks guys you rock

[samyH]

Spoke too soon transmission, radaar and lidaar refused to connect when trying to access via the browser all show as installed in dietpi-software. Jackett and Plex still work though and I installed all that together at once before I started messing with these extra drives - I don’t know

If I did dietpi-software reinstall (software #) would that keep all the settings inside those programs as it takes a while to setup

[Joulinar]

Yes usually all user data should be kept. But check system log for each individual service. Probably you will see something

Reinstalled but fails to restart

[Joulinar]

You would need to share the system log for each service failing otherwise we are not able to assist further

It’s fine I’ll just uninstall and reinstall transmission again, but radaar says its running?

[Joulinar]

pls restart your system and share the whole service log

journalctl -u radarr.service

[samyH]

Will do as soon as the ssh starts working again just returns 1005 connection error…

Ok I just unplugged everything power HDD started up the pi on its own - managed to ssh in reconnected all the HDD and it’s all working as it should with radaar need to check the others, but finally looking good

rm -rf /opt/sonarr && dietpi-software reinstall 144

That line worked on all the software that wasn’t working correctly - just change the software name and number at the end
