CouchPotato

[rogohaqe]

So I got Couchpotato and Transmission talking. I go into Couchpotato, search for what I want to download, hit add, and then transmission starts downloading it. Then, when it finishes, I tried to have Couchpotato rename and move the files.

However, I realized that I had an extra // in front of the "mnt" directory. So, instead of placing the file in /mnt/myVolume/mydataset, it put it ///mnt/myVolume/myDataset, but I don't know where that is.

I tried going into the shell and searching for it with but can't find the files anywhere. Can anyone tell me where they went? Does Couchpotato create a directory if it can't find one? If so, where? It couldn't have just erased the files, could it?

That would be exactly the same location as you only have one root (/) that you tried to access 3 times.

Code:

root@yournas:~ # cd /
root@yournas:/ # pwd
/
root@yournas:/ # cd ///
root@yournas:/ # pwd
/
root@yournas:/ # 

Now, to figure out where the files went I suggest you have a closer look at the Couchpotato logs to see what it did exactly. (I can remember a situation where Couchpotato discovered new files, tried to move them but failed and then figured that deleting the source files was a good idea.)
