Hi - I want to use hardlinks to minimize disk activity when using Radarr, Sonarr, etc. I plan to follow the Trash guide for Unraid ( https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Unraid/ ) I noticed that when I created a sub-folder under the top-level share (data), the owner was 'root' and the default permissions were 'drwxr-xr-x'. However my existing "Movies, TVShows, etc' shares are owned by 'nobody' and permissions are 'drwxrwxrwx'. Who and what should the owner and permissions be? In fact, ALL my other shares are owned by 'nobody', and permissions are 'drwxrwxrwx'  (I am not concerned about security)

My second question concerns moving my existing movie, tv and music files from their current shares to the new sub-folders. Can I simply use rsync or Krusader to move them? I have setup Krusader per Spaceinvaderone's video to allow instant copy/move from share to share, but does this apply to copy/move from share to subfolder under a share?

nobody:users is the expected owner for shares, drwxrwxrwx for dirs and -rw-rw-rw- for files

 

When you use docker containers mounting any shares, you should run them with same PID / GID as nobody / users to maintain permissions
