Transmission - Unable to save resume file no space left

My Cloud OS 5 My Cloud EX

Hi,

I’m using the Transmission app on my EX2Ultra and my downloads are stopping with an error “unable to save resume file, no space left on device”

I’ve got 3.9TB of disk space left but even clearing the downloads directory doesn’t seem to help?

This error is likely caused by the system partition running out of space, not your main storage. The Transmission resume file is typically stored in /mnt/HD/HD_a2/.config/transmission-daemon/ on WD My Cloud devices. Check if the OS partition is full using SSH with df -h. If /root or /var is near 100%, try clearing log files (/var/log), temp files, or relocating Transmission’s config directory to the main storage. Restarting the device may also free up space temporarily.

Hey thanks for this, I can’t seem to find a .config directory for the resume file? I’ve tried finding it via Bitvise in both SSH and SFTP modes and no sign of the directory .config

Also could you possibly point the way in how to change the directory to the main drive please?

Thank you for your help so far
