Hardlink support: Unionfs didn't support hardlinks so any torrents had to be copied to rclone_upload and then uploaded. Mergerfs supports hardlinks so no wasted transfer. I've added an upload exclusion to /mnt/user/local/downloads so that download files (intermediate, pending sonarr/raddarr import, or seeds) are not uploaded. For hardlinks to work, transmission/torrent clients HAVE to be mapped to the same disk 'storage' so files need to be in /mnt/user/mount_unionfs or for newer users /mnt/user/mount_mergerfs...hope this makes sense = MUCH BETTER FILE HANDLING AND LESS TRANSFER AND FILES NOT STORED TWICE
Thanks for this update, i plan to change very soon. Regarding your above instructions, i am still unclear how torrents will work the new way.
Will they still get uploaded to tdrive? Is it automated? Do they get seeded from tdrive? Or do they stay local until ratio is met?
Can you please elaborate on how this part will work now?
Thanks
