Hello everyone,

I deleted one of my media folders by mistake.

Thankfully no impact as I preform weekly snapraid sync and scrub.

While restoring data I noticed inodes are not being restored for hardlinks creating duplicate remuxes in my case. Snapraid is not restoring the inodes unfortunately it seems.

Going forward, I will probably start using syslinks.

My only concern I have many files that matches torrents by 99.9% then download slightly different media - I had no issues with hardlinks setup.

Will this work with syslinks when file download extra media at 99.9%?

I am worried another drive will crash or upgraded (in process) then I will end up with many hardlinks not linking anymore and creating dupes which is already stressful for me.

I know there is Apps like jdupe but I am not sure how accurate are they?

Fyi only I am talking about +6000 hardlinks between cross-seed and Plex.
