It would be very nice if you could add a few lines to explain how to handle the re-use of an external mounted prevous rtorrent directory (with downloads a .session directories).

What I did is first have the old rtorrent disk mounted permanently on /srv/rtorrent and then run your script.

It looks like it works and I did not have to worry about changing the files ownerships.

Thank you very much

First of all thank you a lot for your good work.

I am using your script to quickly reinstall my Raspbian Rpi seedbox after the old microSD died.

As I have an external disk with my seeding torrents I checked the ownership of your /srv/rtorrent tree and found maybe a typo in the username. It's rtorrent-deamon while usually the spelling would be daemon (the a before the e). Not a showstopper but my first chown attempt was in error since I typed the usual name.

May I also suggest that probably a username <= 8 chars can be handier with some commands such as ps aux/ps -efl ?

As a last feedback. Could you give the script the possibility of setting the user:group under which you would run rtorrent etc? In my case the old box was all running under bob:bob and it would have been easier to get my external disk back online.

Take care and again thanks a lot. (PS the arakasi/rtinst script which I always used does not work anymore for me complaining about not being able to install packages)

It is not updating to version 4.2.10 here.
