Pomoc filebot copy movies to medialibrary, not make hardlinks

[Robin]

rtorrent_0.9.7-0912

Thanks for this forum which helps me a lot with Rtorrent-Pro. I have to say it is the best app I have used on my QNAP. Everything goes well until I notice my disk capacity reduces rapidly... I find out that rtorrent was copying movies, not making hardlink in medialibrary/Movies, Am I setting anything wrong?

I used putty to check:

[~] # cd /share/Rdownload/medialibrary/Movies
[/share/Rdownload/medialibrary/Movies] # cd '12勇士 (2018)'
[/share/Rdownload/medialibrary/Movies/12勇士 (2018)] # ls -lia

Hi

This seems to be some old Rtorrent.
I'm unable to help you.

Yes it is... May I know would this issue be solved if update to 0.9.8-B900 ? Thank you for your reply : D

Hi Robin

Well I dont remember if there was a problem. However in latest version this scenario has been updated a little bit.
Today Rtorrent-Pro offers two selection in SETTINGS UI:

I can recommend you to use 'move' instead hardlink.

Let me explain why....
Well let's say you are downloading X stuff and want to seed.
So it is in download directory.
There is no reason to keep same movie in 3 locations even if its hardlinked:
- download
- complete
- medialibrary

It's better to keep it in:
- download (for seed purpose)
- medialibrary (as private archive)

I recommend you to go that way.

However to make sure content will get moved, make sure you are using label directories: watch/movie ; watch/tv ; watch/kids
4K content is detected automatically no matter where you put it.

Thanks

Hi Silas.

Thanks for quick response! You are so nice and I'd like to take your advice. I just paid for it here and now downloading the latest version.
I think complete is some kind of backup...
BTW thank you so much for such a good app，赶紧补票。。

If you have any questions just let me know before weekend

in the picture where is pointed... hardlink(create link; fallback:copy - if different target volume)

I use 'ln -s /share/Multimedia/Movie /share/Rdownload/medialibrary/Movies' as follow...
Podpowiedź - How to move medialibrary/FileBot movies or tvshows output directory into another disk path? [Video]

Does it mean different target volume? so filebot copies files instead of hardlink?

 

[Silas Mariusz]

Hi Robin

Hardlinks are possible to be done on same disk volume. When the target is different disk volume (or just another HDD if static) then hardlink cannot be done. So copy function is done instead.

Make sure complete and medialibrary are the same /share/CACHEDEV

readlink -f /share/Multimedia/Movie
readlink -f /share/Rdownload/medialibrary/Movies

Does CACHEDEV have same number?
If yes then hardlink can be done.
If no fallback to copy method.

Same CACHEDEV (CACHEDEV2_DATA) but it contains 3 disks via static single volumes(DataVol1)
I am curious if hardlink can be done from 'downloads' to 'complete', why it is not able from 'complete' to 'medialibrary' ...

Hi Silas,

Thank you so much for the remote help! Now filebot makes hardlink and everything works well, no more copies to occupy my little disk capacity...
