Well that's very interesting because i have had the same issue yesterday, cost me almost a day to solve it. Could not remove the file through, ssh, ftp, Windows crashed (blue screen) on it when mounting the drive directly, tried Ubuntu en Knoppix LiveCD te solve it, a Mac, VMware, chkdsk, repair utility's, but nope, nothing helped. Ended up with backing up al my data on another disk en formatted only the first partition in NTFS format, don't use the built in format because, i assume, you lose your ext3 partition and swap, the swap doesn't matter

@mod:

What kind of mod is just adding one thread to another one? I don't mind answering these questions but now it looks like the script I've created is causing problems... (or is it intentional to distract from your own set of bugs?)

Thanks

NTFS is not a native format for Linux and it's therefore not that solid in said environment as for instance ext3.

You can use the ACryan as a USB-harddisk and then it's of course easier to use a format which Microsoft Windows understands and can cope with big files.

The software used by ACryan (or the Realtek devkit) is from Paragon (http://www.paragon-software.com/ntfs/ufsd.html). I would personally opt for ntfs-3g which is gnu public license as opposed to this commercial product. Not because it costs money but because it is closed source and only a limited amount of programmers are working on it.

Quote from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS): Due to the complexity of internal NTFS structures, both the built-in 2.6.14 kernel driver and the FUSE drivers disallow changes to the volume that are considered unsafe, to avoid corruption.

I guess something was allowed

ACryan should offer 2 different ways for formatting the data-partition... NTFS / Ext3....
Mac and Linux users would even prefer ext3 as they have problems with NTFS...

Sorry to hear that you think/thought that it is related to your script, my post was related to wacho post, but actual my post was offtopic

I think also that NTFS (UFSD) is not so reliable and stable, i use on my MacBook NTFS 3G and turned off caching what make it a bit less worse

Yes your wright, the possibility to connect the POHD direct to a PC does create this situation, otherwise they could use a better FS.

Sorry Frater to screw up your weekend

Thanks for your script and efforts, i'm very happy with it.

Cheers

I don't mind a bit of "off-topicness" but it's like "Hey... someone is complaining and having problems with transmission which is not ours... let's put it in that thread"...
merging and cutting in threads is almost always a bad idea...

At first I didn't even understand why they would use NTFS but indeed... if you're able to connect it as a USB-harddisk this may be easy....
I just think you should have the choice... I wonder what happens if you just format it to ext3? I guess it will think it's corrupted....
It's not that bad...
I just was a bit disgruntled and didn't have a good night sleep....
In some areas I'm a bit spoiled with the abilities of XBMC. I really wanted to buy a HTPC on which I would run XBMC. While I was ordering someone persuaded me to buy the ACRyan. It does play all/most of my content which my xbox can't and its price is just a fraction of that HTPC so I have to keep things in perspective.... I can always buy that HTPC on top of the rest....

I have a question about NZBget. Finally I have it up and running (yep, I know it shouldn't be difficult, but I'm good in making things hard for me) and I'm able to download a small file like a single .mp3 file. But when I try to download something bigger (I tried a movie of 730 mb) I get the error '413 - Request Entity Too Large' when I try to upload the .nzb file in the webinterface. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

Tnx in advance,

Kay

I haven't tried nzbget yet.... I had nzbhella running on my Western Digital Worldbook but it's quite heavy....
You need to have python and I already have perl on my Playon!HD so I left it for now...

Did you install nzbget with ipkg-opt ????
I will see if I can find the time to install it on my Playon!HD and let you know if I'm experiencing the same...

You did run my script???


Edit: I installed nzbget and it's running... I also included it in the install script although I still need to write an /opt/etc/init.d/S85nzbget
There's also a beta-version of this package... Anyone knows if it's any good?

BTW I am not using nzbget's webinterface... It doesn't work here...but dropping a file in /mnt/C/usenet/nzb made it fly... You should try that way too to find out where the problem is.

@mod
I understand that you guys don't support third party sw, but unless you've changed the forum rules after my post (the one you've edited), you shouldn't be editing/merging posts... There's nothing in the rules about this.
I bought the POD after investigating that it could do everything I needed, Transmission included...
For the time being, with the exception of the constant lockups that you should be paying attention to instead of editing user feedback, I'm quite pleased with the product.
Please keep it that way...

@frater
Thank you Frater for an excelent script and for taking the time and kindness to answer questions in posts other than your own.
I came out for a long weekend and forgot to open my router's ports that would allow remote management of the system, so I'm stuck with a very stable system that, alas, is not doing anything (0 of 0 peers). I remember messing with folders, so it could be a permission issue - will get back to you with results in a few days time.

Best to you,
Jorge Ribeiro

Works for me too, so it seems to be a problem with the webinterface. I can now see the torrent via the webinterface while downloading.
Tnx a lot for your advice and your wonderfull POD Installer!

now that there is a new firmware (link above), what am I supposed to do to "reinstall" this optware after upgrading the firmware? Do I have to go through the whole process of below?
