no free disk space if recording or timeshift folder is on NAS (1 Viewer)

[disaster123]

Hi,

i was trying to put my timeshift and recording folders on my NAS. I mapped the folder /host to a new drive (Z and set all properties to this drive.

But when i try to start timeshifting TV Server says "No free disk space". But the Windows Explorer shows me 1,94TB free for this drive.

Hello Stefan

Does the TV service account (usually a local system account) have read/write permissions to the share?
I note that I wouldn't recommend a NAS for timeshifting. It is probably okay for recording, but the increased latency can be problematic.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Ein Teil des Pfades "Z:\TS" konnte nicht gefunden werden.

exactly as mm said - you have set access rights for your user account (as you see in command line window), but tvservice normally starts under NT-AUTHORITY/SYSTEM account, so you somehow need to set access permissions also for this account.

Oh it's a 10Gbit/s attached NAS - Latency shouldn't be a problem.

Yes the tvservice is running as system. The attached NAS is a guest NAS so no user is needed. And the permissions under windows are set to Everybody => yes.

Adding User SYSTEM does not work windows automatically deletes it when i click OK.[DOUBLEPOST=1376551941][/DOUBLEPOST]Everything works fine if i do not assign a drive letter and use the network path instead \\NAS\PATH but then strangely recording deletions do not work from tvservice (max recordings set to 4 for a recording). Everything else works fine.

H there,

The issue you are having is that the "System" account can not map drive lets (but can have directory permissions)

To be honest the "System" account should only be used for resources local to the device it is on, and not remote resources (such as UNCs - unless fully unrestricted)

Jay_UK: thanks for your input. Can you tell me what you mean? My UNC is fully unrestricted. It has only a guest user with all permissions.

 

[Jay_UK]

Hi there,

When I said the system account can have permissions - I was misleading. What I was trying to say was that if you had removed all restrictions from your UNC (eg Everyone:write), they the "system" account shouldn't need to worry and by default have access.

I reiterate what I said above, the "System" account should not be used for accessing remote services. It should work with an unrestricted UNC, but wont work properly with a mapped drive.

Why are you mapping a drive letter to the UNC? Just use the UNC within MePo?

J.

 

[disaster123]

It was working fine using just UNC except deleting recording if i've set to keep just a constant number of them. TVService then runs in an endless loop deleting the file.

Hi,

can you provide a debug log when tvserver failed deleting of an episode if you use unc path for recording?
