sabnzbd Cannot change permissions of

Troubleshooting
#1

I followed the guides on this forum and made sure I chown the dir but I keep on getting this error.

May 09 07:29:09 DietPiHole python2.7[2406]: 2020-05-09 07:29:09,751::ERROR::[misc:1636] Cannot change permissions of /mnt/G2/Incomplete

mount :
//192.168.68.118/G2 on /mnt/G2 type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=3.1.1,cache=strict,username=dummy,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=1000,forcegid,addr=192.168.68.118,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770

Help?

Hi,

many thanks for your report. Looks like you are mounting the network drive as user dietpi with read/write permissons for user/group dietpi. So you would need to ensure that user who is running sabnzbd is part of that group.

I am already running it in dietpi group.

See:

[Unit]
Description=sabnzbd DietPi

[Service]
User=sabnzbd
Group=dietpi
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python2.7 /etc/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -f /etc/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

/etc/systemd/system/sabnzbd.service (END)

sabnzbd : sabnzbd dietpi

Hmm usually it should work. Unfortunately I’m not able to test it fully as I don’t have a Usenet account

to verify that user sabnzbd has sufficient write access, you can do following

sudo -u sabnzbd touch /mnt/G2/Incomplete/test.file
sudo -u sabnzbd touch /mnt/G2/test.file

Or you can try to change primary group

usermod -g dietpi sabnzbd

don’t forget to restart the system afterwards
