I have a Raspberry Pi with a 2TB SSD on which I store all of my media. That media sits in a directory that is capable of being mounted on other computers via NFS.

I have that directory mounted on another computer via NFS in /mnt. I am able to create directories, create files, move files there, and they show up instantaneously on the Raspberry Pi (I do this without sudo because I gave my user write permissions via chown).

However, when I attempt to download a torrent via Transmission and have it automatically save to the NFS-mounted share, it does so for a few seconds, then gives me one of the two following errors:

Error:  Permission denied (/mnt/....)

or

Error: Read-only filesystem (/mnt/....)

My Transmission Daemon user is set up to be my normal user.

Anybody have any ideas? I followed these three tutorials to set it all up:

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Who owns the mount point under /mnt? If it's owned by root you could try changing ownership of it to your user

Okay I managed to solve it with two things:

  • in settings.json, changed umask from 18 to 2.
  • in settings.json, changed incomplete dir from true to false (it didn't seem to like ANYWHERE that i put this so I just said screw it, let's not have one, it's not that big of a deal)
