Qbittorrent and mergerfs, cant initiate downloads

[Petrutu]

Hello! I've just installed qBittorrent on an LXC container (Proxmox), but I'm having trouble starting downloads. I've already changed the option inside qBittorrent from default to POSIX compliant, and my mergerfs line in fstab looks like this: "/mnt/media* /mnt/tank fuse.mergerfs defaults,nonempty,allow_other,use_ino,cache.files=partial,moveonenospc=true,dropcacheonclose=true,minfreespace=150G,fsname=mergerfs,category.create=mfs 0 0". I have "mnt" set up inside the container. If I try to download directly to one HDD (media12tb), it works. My mergerfs settings are: mp0: /mnt/tank, mp=/mnt/media, mp1: /mnt/media12tb, mp/mnt/media12tb. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!

For installing qBittorrent, I used this script:

bash
Copy code
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/qbittorrent.sh)"
If I try to manually write something to the pool, it works. Thanks!

1. defaults, nonempty, use_ino... those are all deprecated for some time. What version of mergerfs are you using? You should be using the latest release.
2. https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs#support need more information to help

Hi @trapexit and thanks for your prompt response this is version currently i have mergerfs v2.40.1 i will use mergerfs 99% of the time just for torrenting and sonarr radarr etc. do i need to take out defaults, nonempty, use_ino..? my set up is proxmox and then lxc container. if i must change something on the fstab, can you please point me to the right choises please? Thanks

All the details for such things are in the docs. defaults, nonempty, and use_ino are completely inert. They are just taking up space in your options.

/mnt/media* /mnt/tank fuse.mergerfs allow_other,cache.files=partial,moveonenospc=true,dropcacheonclose=true,minfreespace=150G,fsname=mergerfs,category.create=mfs 0 0 i do systemctl daemon-reload after i change line in fstab, i reboot the qbittorrent container, but when i start one new download, i got error again :(
in qbittorrent i have

Disk IO type (libtorrent >= 2.0; requires restart): (?)	Default                         Memory mapped files                         POSIX-compliant
Disk IO read mode                         Enable OS cache
Disk IO write mode:                         Enable OS cache                         Write-through (requires libtorrent >= 2.0.6)

I wasn't claiming those were the issue. I was telling you they have no effect, deprecated, and just should be removed.

[trapexit]

If you set cache.files=auto-full then it doesn't matter what your IO mode is. If you set it =off then it should be set to non-mmap. Again, this would be easier if you look at the logs of qbittorrent for some error messages.

Need details about the app. That's what's you're having problems with. Have you looked at it's logs? Taken an strace like requested in the support docs? Tried a minimal setup? Shown what your container config is? Checked the entitlements?
