April 11, 20242 yr I am in the process of migrating my Plex library from a Windows system to unRaid. I have numerous files that are currently being seeded (over 100). I am just about to start setting up my arrays and share(s) using TG's suggested process (single "data" share with folders under it). Additionally, I do plan on having the subfolders of /torrent with /movies, /music, /tv and /media with the same folders/directories under it. My questions are: Current folder structure/conventions in my Windows system use upper case for the first letter. This is not a huge deal for movies, as they are in genre folders and can quickly be changed if necessary (less than 10 of them). However, music has A LOT more folders using this convention. Do these need to change to follow the desired convention of unRAID with all lower case? If so, what would be the quickest way to do this? As mentioned above, I plan on having a /torrent/... folder as well as a /media/... folder, with torrent files downloading to the torrent folder and then a hardlink to the appropriate media subfolder once completed. Question is regarding the hundreds of files I am already seeding and where to put those/how to point the torrent client to those? Do I put them in the appropriate folder within /torrent and hardlink those from the start, or do I simply place all of these in the /media folders and point the torrent client to these files for seeding? What makes most sense? Still learning how unRAID works and the overhead of certain functions, so I want this to be a streamlined as possible for everything involved from the torrent client (likely qbit) accessing the files to general access to the array by Plex.
April 11, 20242 yr Community Expert In Unraid you can use any case within file/folder names - it is just that under Linux they are case significant so different ones with the same spelling but different case are different files/folders.
April 11, 20242 yr Author I figured this was the case but wanted to make sure I was on the right track. This helps me with part of my question, thank you!
