I keep losing my torrents on restart.

Post by MarkJohnson »

Everytime I restart my computer I lose my torrents. I get some sort of error (I think it can't find my hard drive) then it starts over at 0% and procedes to wipeout my torrent. I try recheck, but it seems too late and it doesn't recover anything as the files have been overwritten to 0 bytes.

I think the problem is my hard drive. I have a second hard drive for storage and I tell Deluge to use that one. I notice if I go to My Places the drive shows up and if I navigate to it then start Deluge then it seems fine and I don't lose anything.

Is there something I need to do before Deluge will see my second hard drive? or do I need to have a special config setup?

Thanks for any help.

You should mount it prior to launching deluge..

Thanks, Kpkeerthi at Ubuntu forums showed me how to mount the drive at boot and all seems fine.

Thanks for the reply.
