I think that downloading directly to MergerFS is an awesome idea for using hardlinks. However I am on a shared seedbox and I am wondering if downloading torrents directly to MergerFS would have performance issues, since I am on a shared drive.
@Animosity022 Is your setup on a local or dedicated server?
Is anyone using this on a shared server?
I use a dedicated server that's in my house and I'm the single user on it.
I would not think mergerfs would cause any performance issues as it's pretty light.
Are you going to switch to rclone union?
No, I need hard links in my setup.
Does the new v1.5.2 version of union not support hardlinks? Bummer, as I need these as well
No idea as I haven't used nor tested it.
I'm curious as to how you set up rtorrent. do you have a guide or can you share your config file, after redacting sensitive info?
Would be the same for any torrent application, Sonarr, Radarr or any application to use as it just points to my mergerfs mount. I personally don't use rtorrent so I don't have anything to share.
Uhh you sure about that?
I use Sonarr and Radarr in conjuction with NZBGet and ruTorrent/rtorrent to get my media.
Yes, I'm 100% sure what I am using right now. I used it before.
Hi Animosity022,
please can you explain your ```
--delete-empty-src-dirs
in your upload script.
if source is /series/serie1/season 1/episode 1
------------------------/serie1/season 1/episode 2
------------------------/serie1/season 1/episode 3
do you want remove folder on source ? ex when all episode are move remove /season 1/
I try and all my folder are empty but folder are here.
That's my only thing that works on the /local mount/disk directly.
Say you have:
/local/TV/Someshow/show.mkv and it i uploads the file
I use delete-empty-src-dirs because i also want to remove the empty directory "Someshow" in that example as the file has been moved so without it, you'd see:
/local/TV/Someshow
and with that, it removes the empty directory so you only see
/local/TV
It's not mandatory to use that but I like things a bit cleaner so I keep my /local trimmed of empty things.
don't work here, my local folders are empty but not delete.
You have information in your /opt/rclone/logs/upload.log about dir delete ?
No, I don't run normally with debug so I don't log cleaning up an empty directory.
I'm not sure why you mean by:
If you have a use issue, you can create a new post and I'm happy to help debug it.
I wonder if there would be any benefit to using union over mergerfs. I suppose mergerfs is more mature.
How does the the cache refresh command (rclone rc vfs/refresh recursive=true) affect new files that are added to drive? Are they cached automatically? Also, is the cached dir tree stored in memory?
That command just refreshes the mount and fully primes the drive so it's similar to a user listing out all the files on the drive.
New files are detected via polling so every 15 seconds, a poll goes and if it finds new files, it invalidates the particular directory automatically. There is nothing a person does for this as it's all automatic based on the polling time.
If it's not already cached, it makes a new call to refresh that directory and that happens when something accesses the file/directory.
Any reason why you've set async reads to false?
To match mergerfs and use sync_reads in both spots.
I am using your settings 1:1 now.
I have a question regarding that script.
I have just run it and it shows me 15754 files missing analyzation info.
That is why I have run this script (i think it is from the same person who created the script you use/mentioned): scripts/plex/plex-analyze-curl.py at master · ajkis/scripts · GitHub
But even after running it the script still shows me 15754.
Do you have other tips on how I could get the files missing analyzation info to 0. That would speed up my Plex scans enourmously.
