Sonarr version: 2.0.0.5344 Mono version: 4.6.2 OS: Debian 10 Buster Debug logs: “Oh snap! Failed to load logs, your ad blocker might be blocking the api calls.” I can’t get them. Description of issue:
I’m having some problems regarding where the hardlinks are stored. I set a folder named “TV Shows” as the path on the three shows I downloaded with Sonarr as my default directory. For some reason, I think the first episodes I downloaded I got confused and the hardlinks for three of them are on my Downloads folder, then Sonarr created another folder named “TV shows” for the hardlinks so I had two separate folders which was nice (although I would have preferred another name to avoid confusion). Then, I was moving some other files and I moved the “TV shows” folder to another one and now Sonarr move everything (hardlinks and actual files) to the “TV Shows” directory, so it’s a true mess.
What I want is a folder named “Sonarr” for the hardlinks and a folder named “TV Shows” for the actual files, how do I set the folder for the hardlinks and move what’s on “Downloads” folder and the rest of the hardlinks to another folder without stopping the seeding?
Disable you ad blocker, though those aren’t the logs we’re looking for, since you need the log file. You can also get them directly from disk.
Anything in the downloads folder is where you download client put them, anything in TV Shows would be there because that’s where you told Sonarr the series folders should be (that’s the root folder).
I have enabled everything that the application requires with my ad and script blocker, I don’t think something’s interfering with it, but I’ll try and see if it works. Where are the logs stored, specifically?
With downloaded client do you mean my BitTorrent client? I have set qBT to set all downloaded files on /Videos, not /Downloads. Okay, I think that’s good enough, but how can I tell Sonarr that I want my hardlinks and actual files on two separate directories?
I think I might set a folder called /Sonarr, but how can the actual files go into the /TV_Shows folder?
If I set categories within qBT and set specific folder for them, will the hardlinks stay on /Sonarr but the actual files on /TV_Shows? Is that how it works?
If so, how can I move the previous files without affecting my seeding?
If it’s seeding and hardlinbking is possible it will always hardlink from the download client to the series’ directory.
I think you’re confusing hardlinks with symlinks. With symlinks there is an actual file and a pointer/shortcut to the file, but with hardlinks either link is the complete file as they point to the same data on disk. You can delete either file without affecting the other and when you delete both the disk space is recovered.
If you mean the files that qbit points to move them and repoint qbit to the files, if you mean in Sonarr, just move Sonarr’s file and tell Sonarr where to find them.
