Hi Guys, This is more a requested for help or a way to point me in the right direction. I have monted my HDD to the mnt/xxxxxxxxxxxx folder via dietpi-drive_manager in sonarr you can see on the system tab the diskspace being used by the MMC but not by the HDD. I did try to ask on radarr forum on reddit, this is the post i made in the forums. Its there any way to trick or edit maybe fstab so this would be populated in radarr/sonarr? radarr In theory since this is grabbing the folder /var/log/radarr, maybe we can do a workaround.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

looks like Radarr is going to grep specific stuf (probably hardcode) and not something from /etc/fstab. If I'm not mistaken your question was already answered on reddit

True, i was hoping for maybe a workaround... i did check the code and this line caught my attention: var optionalRootFolders = GetFixedDisksRootPaths().Except(importantRootFolders).Distinct().ToList();

It's a bit strange that they show space for /media and /mnt at all, since those are not meant to be mount points themselves, so will always be part of the root file system. In case of /var/log/radarr it makes sense to cover RAM log. Although, do you have DietPi-RAMlog enabled? If so it would even somehow get the wrong space.

What does Bakerboy448 mean with "Add it as root folder"? Mounting it to /mnt directly? No this is simply wrong to expect. If it's really only this hardcoded list of directories listed there, then using /media as direct mount point could be a workaround, since at least dietpi-drive_manager does not use it. But /media is used by some tools as auto-mount location, i.e. mount on plug, just to note.

I do have Dietpi-Ramlog option2 if im not mistaken._

Im gonna try and move some folder and try this... for a couple days if nothing goes wrong, it could be a workaround, since this is a headless server im not expecting to connect and disconnect drives. but having this info on sonarr / radar would help me a bit to manage the server. Just to give a litttle context i use an app NZB360 to control all the media, before i would ssh the server and just DF -h but since version 14 of NZB introduced a dashboard this would be a great QOL for me. Thank you for the input.

To be sure: df /var/log/radarr If that's a tmpfs, not the root drive, then the check is currently done completely wrong 🤔.

GulyFMG commented 3 years ago

df /var/log/radarr root@tartarus:~# df /var/log/radarr Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on tmpfs 51200 292 50908 1% /var/log

Looks like you are on point.

MichaIng commented 3 years ago

Not sure how the check is done, but probably it works at least if the directory is the mount point itself, so i.e. if /var/log/radarr itself would be an own tmpfs (or other), so that mounting a drive directly to /media does work.

Since via shell/script it is trivial to get the actual file system where a sub directory belongs to, it looks like we found a bug to report, aside of the design choice to show this hard-coded list only.
