[Solved] New torrents failing if over 2Gb in size

Post by Trojan Hussar »

I've recently setup a Virtual Ubuntu 10.10 machine on my server and I now have Deluge running and access the WebUI to manage it from my laptop. It all appeared to be working fine, until I tried adding a large torrent (42Gb). I uploaded the torrent, but as soon as I tried to run it I simply got 'error'.

By a process of elimination it appears that torrents with a total size of over 2Gb (or very close to it) fail. Now this appears to be linked to the download location. I have a NAS which is mounted on the Deluge host using cifs to the mountpoint /mnt/nas if I direct the download to a local folder in preferences the download works fine.

I can copy large files to the /mnt/nas from both the command line and Nautilus but for some reason Deluge is having problems if the total torrent size exceeds 2Gb.

Anyone shed any light on this?

Regards,
Jason.

It appears that some Unix/Linux attributes are not supported on my NAS, adding the nounix attribute to the cifs share in /etc/fstab allows it to work with Deluge.
