  • SBBS & Multiple HDs

    From Mindless Automaton@VERT/ELDRITCH to DOVE-Net.Synchronet_Discussion on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 08:52:35
    On my previous machine, I had SBBS (Linux) on 1 harddrive, but this time
    I was trying to use a separate HD for files & doors.

    So I have this kind of setup:

    (SDA) /sbbs
    (SDA) /sbbsfile (link to folder on SDB)
    (SDA) /sbbsxtrn (link to folder on SDB)

    (SDB) /sbbsfile
    (SDB) /sbbsxtrn

    I can browse through the folders without any issues in the gui or prompt however I am seeing permission denied when doors/maintenance runs.

    ERROR 13 (Permission denied) in xtrn.cpp line 1335 (external) checking "/sbbsxtrn/DOS/T/twgold/" access=0

    All permissions appear to be good so maybe I am doing something wrong in regards to putting the link to the folder on SDA?

    Thanks!

    Assuming your /sbbs/xtrn link points to /sbbsxtrn and you have the correct permissions on /sbbsxtrn then it should work. You could also consider a bind mount rather than using links.

    The permission denied error implies the permissions are not sufficient for the user you are running sbbs as.

    so maybe I am doing something wrong in
    regards to putting the link to the folder on SDA?

    A symlink? If yes, that shouldn't matter. But I see any details about a symlink in your message.
