Hello! I have jellyfin+qbittorrent+radarr on my home server, but I can’t make it work with hardlinks. When a download finishes, it just copies it to the /movie folder, doubling the disk space. at least, I think that it’s just a copy, because the disk space is double and find ./downloads -samefile ./movies/path/to/file.mkv
returns no result, meaning if I understand correctly that file.mkv is not hardlinked to any file in the download folder (but it should).
this is the docker compose:
radarr:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
container_name: radarr
network_mode: container:gluetun
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/Rome
volumes:
- ./radarr-config:/config
- /media/HDD1/movies:/movies
- /media/HDD1/downloads:/downloads
restart: unless-stopped
HDD1 hard drive is formatted ext4, that supports hardlinks (in fact I can create them manually), and in the radarr settings the checkbox “use hardlinks instead of copy” is checked.
Ideally I’d prefer softlinks instead of hadlinks, but I don’t think there’s a way to do it natively, I think I’d need an external script
Any tips? Thanks in advance!

The container sees each volume as a seperate filesystem, regardless of your underlying disk setup and you cannot hardlink across filesystems.
