If I’m supposed to be reading that top comment I don’t see where you state what your results were. You apparently “had errrors” but neglected to note any down and now “you don’t” have errors.
Symlinks likely wouldn’t work for a torrent, because that’s more like a shortcut; The symlink doesn’t actually point to the file, it just points to another filepath.
They are kinda like a shortcut but they are resolved directly by the filesystem and in the fast majority of cases should work perfectly fine if done correctly. In OPs case I’d probably leave the original file intact and create the link at the new desired destination.
You can’t have a hardlink for your C: drive on your D: drive
Thats why I didn’t recommend hardlinks. But I misread OPs post and I see the data will all live on the same drive so I revise my original suggestion and also recommend hardlinks.
But a torrent client likely won’t be able to handle the “oh actually you need to go visit location B” instructions, and will just crash/freeze/refuse to seed.
You’re just pulling that out of your ass.
*all of this is largely under the context of linux but should translate to windows
Could someone explain how to set up a lemmy instance with ansible for an absolute beginner
I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running...
