Transmission Error - Unable to save resume file: Read Only File System
Hey guys, I am unable to download anything through Transmission due to Transmission Error - Unable to save resume file: Read Only File System.
It was working fine earlier. I have a 2TB external HDD with 500GB partition with EXT4 file system. The directory for download is /media/box/transmission/downloads. I have given the directory 777 permissions. It seems the problem might be with mounting. I did not link the directories or anything. Also I did not change any mounting settings. Just been relying on automatic mount. How do I make sure that the partition gets mounted every time and if I need to change the permissions for transmission folder/files or something like that? Thanks for answering. |

RE: Transmission Error - Unable to save resume file: Read Only File System
in XBian (pre)configured transmission runs under user XBian.
mounted disk under linux with native fs-format will provide you with native file/folder ownership. that means is for instance ext4 is formatted under user XYZ (or this disk's root is later chown-ed with XYZ), your 777 permission will work only in the level below your folder with 777 permission). linux file mode scheme works a bit different than windows. on windows you could set "777" with inheritance - making "777" again new created files or sub-directories. in linux you can set umask. you can get some info there http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html anyhow for our setup simpler solution is making sure that the ext4 disk including it's root folder is owned by xbian:xbian. you don't have to alter any chmod values anymore as transmission is running as XBian, XBMC too and smb sharing ro/rw is configured with "force user" = XBian too. that means: if your usb hdd is mounted under /media/hdd1, do: Code: chown -Rc -h --preserve-root xbian:xbian /media/hdd1 Please read rules and do a search before you post! .
