First of all, had lots of help from this forum in the past and this is the first time I
have needed to post. So thanks for all the help.
I have set up autotools to move completed downloads to directories that are
symbolically linked to a separate raid array outside the root rtorrent directory.
Eg.
/home/rtorrent/downloading/flix
/tv
(move to)
/home/rtorrent/complete/flix
/tv
(symbolically linked to)
/data/flix
/tv
I am doing this so not to have all the disks in the raid constantly spinning.
This is working great for the tv but when larger files (movies) are moved to the
flix directory the process fails and I end up with a partial file of around 4.3GB.
I have looked in the autotools logs but its not really telling me anything
other than… “rtMoveFile: move fail, try to copy”
First I thought php mv was using /tmp or /usr (these partitions have around
4GB spare) to move the file. But I have watched these during a move and they
don’t seem to be filling up.
The only thing I can think of is maybe because I am using symbolic links the
move process is taking a lot longer than designed, so is timing out before the
move has completed hence the smaller tv files move ok.
Guess I could use rsync but would prefer to use links if anybody has any idea how.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Regards FT
