I'm happy enough to seed til kingdom come, but I'm not aware of any facility that allows this with the 'Arrs.

Is there a way to continue seeding after download is completed, and also after the files have been moved and renamed to conform to whatever convention you have in place that the media players can pick up?

I currently have them continuing for 3x ratio in the downloads folder but that's duplicating files for who knows how long, and I don't have an enormous amount of space.

Can the torrent client be hooked back to the files under their new names, and can it be automated?

one caveat is the need for *rr apps to have direct access to the storage filesystem, and not connect through some filesharing protocol (smb, NFS, etc..) afaik. ISCSI might be good since it's presented as an actual system drive, speculating.

Can't you use a docker CIFS volume?

[-] gvasco@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

CIFS is SMB under a diferent name, and it might be that inside a share you can hardlink, but not across shares in the same filesystem.

I'm aware that CIFS is essentially SMB. Is the issue on the host or the container side?

[-] gvasco@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

It's neither, it's a limitation of SMB, if you have multiple shares set-up that mount to the root of the SMB share, you can't hardlink accross them, but inside a single share in the root of the SMB share apparently it's not an issue.

Fun fact, just encountered this very issue myself lol. I hate the fact that I had to set up share per dataset, but it works and with smb enumeration they at least don't show up for other users.
