I have Radarr and Sonarr set up with qBittorrent on TrueNAS scale.
qBittorrent downloads to a certain folder, then I believe Radarr and Sonarr are supposed to hardlink to those files to their respective directories, without taking up extra space.
However, TrueNAS is telling me each of these datasets (qbit downloads and radarr/sonarr folders) is taking up space, effectively doubling the usage when it should not be.
Ex. qBittorrent Downloads dataset: 400GB used
Radarr/Sonarr datasets: 400GB used
Anyone have any ideas?
This is a *arr Stack guide for TrueNAS Core. It explains how to get atomic moves and hardlinks working
Good luck
That site also contains many useful infos for Radarr and Sonarr, I’d highly recommend you check them out
Where are your bind mounts for your services in relation to each other? I have all of my *arr services mounted on a `media` folder that contains downloads, tv, movies, music, etc. This puts all media files under one mount, so Docker views it as one Filesystem, which allows for hardlinking to work. More info about that can be found in this guide.
That could be the reason. I have separate datasets for each app, but downloads and media are both mounted to radarr and sonarr.
