Hi,
I use the arrs with hardlinks on a JBOD using Windows.
When my HDD's fill up I tend to get a buy a new one etc.
Problem is when updating a movie on the older drives it doesn't create a hardlink since hardlinks don't work over different drives. Normal behaviour.
Instead it copies them but after a while it uses up a lot of space.
So I tried looking for a fix to my problem and stumbled on using a drivepool.
First I tried Mergerfs since that apparently allows hardlinks. Problem is I'm not tech savy and couldn't get it to work ( operation denied, permissions errors etc).
Drivepool for Windows is easy to use but doesn't support hardlinks. Or not without some tweaks?
I saw a closed old post with a user who got it too work using Filebot and a Powershell Script. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/uwhyv0/my_setup_56_tb_drivepool_with_filebot_hardlinks/
Problem is I use Qbit and l'm not tech savy enough to adjust a script like this.
Other people say they've had luck with Symlinks? Has anyone had any luck doing this on a Windows OS and can point me to the right direction?
