if you enjoy using hardlinks (who doesn’t) you may want to do something like
- ./usbdrive/media:/media
then for downloads it’d be /media/ for downloads, and /media/Television for tv /media/Movies for movies
that way, sonarr can hard link files from /media to /media/Television, saving previous disk space
for example, my *Arr has
- /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Big-Data:/media
my plex has
- /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Big-Data/Music:/media/music
- /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Big-Data/Movies/:/media/Movies
- /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Big-Data/TV:/media/TV
and my transmission has
- /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Big-Data/BT:/downloads
under sonarr, download client, remote path mapping, i have remote path /downloads/TV/ to /media/BT/TV/
this way, sonarr is able to see transmission download the file via /media/BT/TV/ and once completed, hardlinks it to /media/TV/ with appropriate naming. if they are seperate volumes, you can’t hardlink (from what i’ve seen at least)
