Sonarr hardlinks and then starts copying the same file

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.10.1567
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):
OS: Linuxserver docker
Debug logs: trace - JustPaste.it
Description of issue:
Hello,
When importing (manually or after a download is finished), sonarr successfully hardlinks a file. However, it immediately starts copying the same file. At some point, I end up with 2 copies of the same file. No error message in all log levels. Here are screenshots of the state of importing.
First picture shows ep 3 was linked (2 in the third column, not 1), then a .tmp file was created and gradually ep 3 is being copied.

Picture 2 shows again the same process for ep 5, but for ep 3 it’s not linked anymore (1 vs 2).

Picture 3 and 4 show the state of episode 1 in both the media folder (picture 3) and the download folder (picture 4). We can see again the same process, ep 1 is linked (2 vs 1, same inode on the two pictures) but a .tmp file is being generated.


In picture 5 and 6, you can see no link is detected anymore, and the inodes are different.


I have a proper volume structure (/host/data:/data for sonarr, /host/data/downloads:/data/downloads for transmission), when connecting to sonarr container i can manually create a link without any issue. In fact, as you see in the screenshots, even sonarr is able to create it, which is weird.
