One subdir prefer cache SSD, while other subdir HDD only?


Recommended Posts

I am using the binhex-qbittorrent docker, which works very well. 

 

I use the following structure:

/Torrents/Incoming/ = For incomplete torrents.

/Torrents/Seeding/ = For compete torrents.

 

qbittorent is configured to automatically move completed torrents from ./Incoming to ./Seeding once they are done downloading.

 

In an effort to minimize thrashing of the mechanical disks, I would like to have the ./Incoming dir stay on the cache (SSD) but still allow for overflow to the HDDs, and have the ./Seeding dir stay ONLY on HDDs.

 

If its downloading, stay on the cache (unless it's full), but once it's complete move it completely off of the cache drive... 

I guess this could be achieved if I make separate shares and use the cache options in each share, but can it be done within an existing share more transparently?

Could symlinks be the answer?
