[solved] Transmission cant see added torrents after reboot

jrussell · 2013-03-16 14:25:26

After rebooting my PC with transmission running, transmission will say:
"Error: no data found! Ensure your drives are connected or use "Set Location". To re-download, remove the torrent and re-add it"
For every torrent.

I think it may have something to do with the download and temp directory for transmission being on a second HDD. (not on root where the transmission user dir is)

The message goes away when I resume all torrents (Or each indevidually)

Any ideas?

The order of mounting changes the way the location of file identified by transmission. When you have multiple drives connected and you disconnect or reconnect / or if you didn't mount the device before you start the Transmission, its bound to throw the error messsage.

Both drives are mounted from fstab, with UUIDs. (/ is sda1, /storage is sdb1) transmission temp and download dirs are on /storage

How could I tell transmission to start only once a particular drive is mounted? (sdb1 in this case)

*Edit
Solved it I had 'nofail' set in fstab for the drive which contained transmissions temp and complete download directories, removing the 'nofail' option from my fstab brought up the drive before starting other daemons I assume.
