Qbittorrent won't download to mounted USB drive.
Re: Qbittorrent won't download to mounted USB drive.
Not really. I'm using Windows on my laptop and Win's default format tool, so it was NTFS from the beginning. I guess I will have to format usb drive with some third party tool in order to see ext4?
Re: Qbittorrent won't download to mounted USB drive.
you could use drive manager to have the drive format with ext4

I guess I will have to backup existing files first, when I get home. Once I change the file system format and copy those files back on the drive, previously mentioned commands should work or there is some additional step before those?

usually they should work than

There might be an alternative way to access the drive without reformatting.
Edit the fstab entry for the ntfs partition to look like this:
Then unmount the drive and remount.

Code: Select all
UUID=XXXXXXXXX /mnt/E449-0ACD ntfs defaults,auto,umask=000 0 0

But this will be overwritten every time drive manager is used I guess

And granting every user full write permissions to all files on that mount as well should be avoided, if possible.
Actually the way we mount NTFS, when added via
Actually the way we mount NTFS, when added via
dietpi-drive_manager
supports UNIX permissions via ntfs-3g driver. sudo chown -R :dietpi /mnt/E449-0ACD; sudo chmod -R g+w /mnt/E449-0ACD
should hence work to grant qBittorrent write access. Is that mount option present (grep '/mnt/E449-0ACD' /etc/fstab
) and the driver running (htop
or pgrep -f 'ntfs-3g'
)?Re: Qbittorrent won't download to mounted USB drive.
Thanks guys for all the answers! I made it to work as Joulinar suggested. I had some problems with writing data to ext4 formatted USB flash from Windows, so I opened VM Pop_os and copied files to usb from there. After that once I mounted it to
All in all, I didn't have to type any additional command, but just to format the drive as ext4.
/mnt/usb
(it gave me some random UUID by default as a folder name, but I went with "usb") all files had dietpi as a group, except the folder "lost+found", but that one is not important to me. All in all, I didn't have to type any additional command, but just to format the drive as ext4.

good that it is working now.
Regarding Windows and ext4. Yes this is not working ootb but there might be a change in future. With Windows10 insider Build 20211 or higher, WSL2 is supporting to mount ext4 directly into explorer.

Re: Qbittorrent won't download to mounted USB drive.
Great to hear, both, that it's working now and ext4 Windows Explorer integration. I don't understand why they did not integrate an ext4 driver natively into the Windows kernel 10 years ago, but better than nothing to have it via WSL
.
