Hard/symbolic links and post processing question

My apologies if this has been asked before.

 

Im a fairly new user moving my htpc away from windows over to unraid. Love it.

 

There's really only one thing to figure out now.

 

I use sonarr/radarr with jackett that allows me to download from some private trackers.

 

Previously on Windows, I had some post processing going on and windows would create symbolic links because the files could not be moved while seeding.

 

In the case of my unraid server, I have one drive for tv and one for movies.

 

I need to use post processing to move these files around, but there seem to be duplicates left behind.

 

On Windows I could see if it was a symlink or not, but Im not familiar with how xfs works or whatever.

 

Can anyone tell me if my post processing on unraid is copying making duplicates on all my drives or if it's actually making links somehow, preserving my drives? Does it matter if the download directory is on a different drive than where the media will be stored? Maybe symlinks won't work between drives?

 

Im just not sure, but I know you guys will have all the answers for me lol.

 

Thanks!
