  • Everybody says to use the trash guide for setup. So I setup Cache-> Array. I did exactly the same folder structure as the trash guide.

    What confuses me, is won’t a completed movie that radarr imports just hardlink to the media/movie folder on the cache? What is telling it to move it to the array? If I have to wait for mover, then mover is wasting time moving my usenet/incomplete folder to the array, but the trash guide hammers home how hardlinking/atomic moves are really important.

    It seems like the better setup is to have usenet only go to cache, or at least only incomplete. Leave the media as array only, no cache. And then let sabnzb move it to array/completed or let sonarr/radarr move it to the array/media. But then that isn’t an atomic move? Are atomic moves not really that big of a deal?

    Normal operation I’m not filling up my cache drive, so its kinda moot, but what about the rare occasion where I queue 10 seasons of a show or something? Then I’d want stuff moving off cache asap instead of waiting on mover.
