Cannot add mount point to transmission

[Dhruv Govil]

Hi There,
I just set up my FreeNAS today with 9.1 release x64 and was trying to setup transmission.

It created its bit1 jail etc when setting it up, but now Im trying to change its watch folder to something a little more easily accessed.

I'm basically ttrying to map /mnt/hive1/Torrents to the destination of /usr/pbi/transmission/home/torrents

But everytime I try and mount or everytime I try and edit the mountPoint, or add further storage I guess this traceback.

Any suggestions? Should I just delete the plugin and jail and start over?

Code:

When I try and edit, I get this instead. Am I right in guessing I may have fubarred permissions somewhere?

My advice, enter in the console jail, (#jls jid -> show the number of your jail and for example #jexec 1 jls -> enters in the jail's console)
Make a folder in /media (for example /media/torrents), after that, go to the GUI and map your/mnt/hive1/Torrents to /media/Torrents.
In the jail console again, go to/usr/pbi/transmission-amd64/etc/transmission/home/ and edit the file settings.json to fix the right download folder to /media/Torrents.

Awesome, that worked really well. Thank you for the help!

Sorry i've got exactly the same problem. I search the forum and come up with this solution but i'm not quite familiar with shell and code in unix so could you please more specific about the code to execute the whole thing? One in a line could be great
