So I’ve got jellyfin all set up, but I’m having some issues with files downloading from qbittorrent and Knowing exactly how and when they get moved over, either the sonar or jellyfin repository, whichever is the final destination. This is important because my torrenting drive is separate from my media drive. I have noticed some shows and files staying on my torrenting drive while others go over to the media drive. And I’m and to figure out where the issue might be that’s causing this, I think I need a refresher on exactly how and when these files are supposed to be moved over. Since I can’t find any sort of documentation inside the apps.
Can anybody explain this to me like super simply? I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out. Thanks y’all!
Wouldn’t symlinks essentially “copy” the file? I need it to be deleted, so it doesn’t fill up the drive
No. Symlinks and hardlinks are two approaches to creating a “pointer to a file.” They are quite different in implementation, but at the high level:
In both cases, the only additional data used is the metadata used for the link itself. The contents of the file on disk are not copied.
