I use Docker for my setup and mistakenly had my qBittorrent download folder and my *arr media folders mounted as /downloads and /movies as opposed to /arr/downloads and /arr/movies
The *arr programs running inside their containers don’t know that the two folders are actually on the same drive because it sees them as two separate mount points. Once I changed my *arr containers to mount my directories correctly, the hard linking worked as expected instead of copying files over. I then ran fclones and recovered over 700 GB of storage from deduplication.
