Hey peeps,
I’m pretty clueless with regards to TrueNAS and hardlinks.
But I seem to be having an issue where hardlinks are counting toward the total space being taken on my TrueNAS server.
I have a storage pool, which is shared via SMB:
I then have that directory mounted in a VM running my ARR stack etc.
Here is the folder structure:
Share
├── torrents
│ ├── books
│ ├── movies
│ ├── music
│ └── tv
│
└── media
├── books
├── movies
├── music
└── tv
When I download something, it get’s put into “/Share/torrents”
When complete, it’s meant to hardlink to “/Share/media”
However, when adding up all the space used on each folder, it adds up to the total TrueNAS says I am using, even though everything in “/Share/torrents” should be hardlinked to somewhere in “/Share/media”
I should only be using ~2TB combined with everything on that pool.
But TrueNAS is reporting a 2.3TB usage in the dashboard.
How can I find where that other ~300GB is coming from.
Or which files are not really hardlinked?
Can my folder structure even handle hardlinks?
