Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.10.1567
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.12.0.182
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Description of issue:
Sonarr creates copies of downloaded files instead of renaming them, respectively deleting the original files after copying. How do I prevent Sonarr from creating copies?
File Structure
Unfinished download directory: /var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads
Download directory: /mnt/gdrive-local
Remote directory: /mnt/gdrive-cloud
Media library (mergerfs for gdrive-local and gdrive-cloud): /mnt/gdrive
Process
- Sonarr adds torrents to transmission
- Transmission downloads files to /var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads
- Transmission moves downloaded files from /var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads to /mnt/gdrive-local when finished
- Sonarr watches /mnt/gdrive and renames downloaded files accordingly as soon as they hit /mnt/gdrive-local
- A cronjob moves/uploads local files from /mnt/gdrive-local to /mnt/gdrive/cloud every 6 hours
Expected:
- The original file is removed after the rename
Actual:
- The original file is still available in /mnt/gdrive-local alongside the correctly renamed copy
- The renamed copy IS NOT a hardlink, it’s an actual copy
- Sonarr, transmission and rclone run with users in the same group (i.e. media)
- There are not any errors found in the Sonarr log
