Filebotnode on Synology hardlink/copy/symlink...

Post by Kopernikus »

Hi,

I wanted some advice what's the best to use to rename my movies/series while keep seeding (Deluge).
If I copy I have double data, I know hardlink can do this, but does it still seed when it's renamed? And does this work fine on Synology?
Or... whats the deal with symlink, relink & move and symlink back?

Btw, I have a Synology 916+ formatted SHR in BTFRS

Thx

If you're using BTRFS, then you might as well use CoW clones:

Code: Select all

--action clone

Is this the same as reflink when used in Filebotnode?
