Mine aren't hard linked then because radarr is copying them from my /data/torrents (qbittorrent download location) and putting them in my /data/media/movies folder. When I view the properties of the top level folder it is showing the space used as twice what the actual file is.
That should be a simple setting in both radarr and sonarr. They can hardlink or copy. I'm not sure what the default is nowadays but it was copy when I installed it.
The hard linking only works of the source and destination are in the same mount, for example
/data/downloads:/downloads /data/media:/mediaWill create copies and use double the storage on just hard linking, to make it hardlink you need to put the downloads and destination folders in the same directory so make the docker mount look like/data:/datainstead. Then you just need to tell your torrent client to put the downloaded files into /data/downloads/(either sonarr or radarr) and the the arrs can look into their folders and then hardlink the files into /data/media/whateverI have no clue if any of this is understandable, but I can post my docker compose once I get to my pc
Do you mind posting your compose file? I believe I have mine setup as you describe but radarr is still copying the files to my media folder.
Yeah sure, here's my setup including my transmission client. I essentially just give the docker containers access to the whole Torrent directory, instead of having one mount for the downloads and one for the media library. You also need to make sure that the arrs are set to hardlink which should be the default
Pastebin link because IDK how formatting works
Yup, I’ve got mine setup the same as you. Someone else explained the hardlinking to me and I believe mine is functioning correctly. Thanks.
