Hard link instead of copy. Sonarr only wants to copy

Help & Support
#1

Hi
I’ve just started using Sonarr and it is great! I use it with BTN as my indexer and Transmission as my download client. I enabled the Hard Link option but Sonarr is still copying the file to the series folder. Is there something other than setting the “Use Hardlinks instead of Copy” to ON that I would need to do in the configuration?

Thanks!

Hardlinks appear as copies, but only uses disk space once. Have you verified that 2x disk space is used? Hardlinks only work on the same disk as well.

Ahhh okay! Sure enough after a quick test it was indeed a hardlink. The way it looked in Finder threw me off!

Thanks for the quick reply!
