Sonarr Hardlink not Working

Help & Support
#1

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.8.1507
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.8.0.105
OS: Debian 11.4.0
Debug logs: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/enipegotuy.yaml

I cannot get hardlinking to work with Sonarr (and Radarr for that matter). I followed the file system and settings recommended in the guide at https://trash-guides.info/. I have also tried to make sure that sonarr has the appropriate permissions to read/write files in /data/torrents/tv and /data/media/tv, however in the trace logs (if I am reading these correctly) Sonarr does not seem to have permission. I am not sure what else to try (I am sort of new to linux). Any help is appreciated.

I should add that the user sonarr and the main user are in the group media, and I have granted the group media rwx permissions to the folder /data and all subsequent folders.

#3

If sonarr does not have permissions then the error is not wrong

ls -lha of all the paths involved

systemctl cat sonarr

The output from systemctl cat sonarr says group=sonarr, but I have verified with “groups sonarr” that the user sonarr is a member of the group media. Could this be the issue?

#5

Being in a group doesn’t matter. So sonarr is not running as the group media, that’s the problem.

#6

I knew I must have been missing something obvious. Thanks!

#7

Sorry I jumped the gun there. I changed the group sonarr runs as to media with “dpkg-reconfigure sonarr”, and the log files still show that the hardlink was not permitted.

So I think I see the problem now. New downloads into the torrents/tv folder have -rw-r–r-- permissions, is there a way to set new downloads to give write permissions to the group as well? I’ve tried searching for this but haven’t figured it out.

#9

That’s based on the settings in your download client or UMASK it runs as
002 for 664/775 for RW for group
