  1. I set up my server about 2 months ago and thought I had set up hardlinks correctly using the TRaSH guide: https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/Hardlinks-and-Instant-Moves/. Apparently I didn't because some files are hardlinked but a bunch aren't. I've done some tinkering and I'm pretty sure I've fixed the problem so hardlinks are now working when I download media. I'm using 'find /path/to/media -type f -links 1' in order to see which files aren't hardlinked, but I had a couple of questions. Will I have to redownload all these movies/tv shows again? I've tried deleting the files that were copied into my media but leaving the torrent files, then redownloading the show on Sonarr, and but I think because it's checking and not downloading, the show doesn't come up in the activity tab. I also tried deleting an episode from a season of a series and that still didn't work. Is there any other way I can trigger it to check the torrent file and then do a hardlink? Or even do it manually myself? Thanks for any help that you guys can provide!
  2. Hello I'd like to build a 24 bay Plex server that will run 24/7. It won't need to do any more than 5 transcodes at once, but I would like to use Handbrake sometimes as well. I'm looking at either of these two cases as they're pretty affordable: https://www.techbuy.com.au/p/430798/CASINGS_SERVER_-_4U/TGC/TGC-4824.asp https://www.skycomp.com.au/tgc-dh-4024-12gb-02-4u-server-case-w-24-x-35-or-25-hot-swap-sata-sas-drive-bays-12gb-s-minisas-825605.html One has a 6Gbps backplane and the other has a 12Gbps backplane. If I can plug a 6Gbps hard drive into the 12Gbps backplane I'll probably just get the 12Gbps backplane one for future-proofing and speed if it'll help at all. I'll be populating the server at first with 11 hard drives and adding more in the future. I'm very inexperienced when it comes to PC hardware so I'd be very grateful if someone could recommend what hardware to get for this build based on my needs. I'll also need to get an HBA/SAS Expander, but once again I have no idea which one 😂 On another note, if someone here is in Melbourne, Australia, and wants to build this thing for me, I'll happily pay you well for your time, no PC building place I've called/emailed has experience with this kind of thing.
