Hi I saw that in 6.2, hard links are supported with user shares.

 

But when I use sonarr and set it to use hardlinking, it seems to still end up copying the file instead of hard linking. Has anyone gotten this to work? Do I need to set up something for hardlinking to work?

 

Thanks

Pretty sure links can only work if both shares are on the same disk. If you specify different root folders, it will assume the source and destination are on different file systems, and make a full copy. You didn't give any information on how sonarr is running (plugin/docker/separate system) or how your paths are mapped, so I can't really say anything other than pure speculation.

Thanks for the reply! Oh I did not know about the limitation. My setup is rather simple, I have two main data drives.

Sonarr is set up via docker with a path to media share and my downloads share. The media share spans both drives, while the download share is set to only use 1 drive.

 

Does this mean hard linking is impossible for my setup? Thanks!
