I’m not fond of hard linking or symbolic linking anything when we’re dealing with media.
I’m honestly even less fond of it across the network.
Knowing NFS doesn’t handle symlinks well; Most NFS servers show the link contents instead of resolving to the symlink target, I think hard links on the NFS server side is going to be the only way to make this work.
- The original file will be where it is and free standing.
- The hard linked ‘copy’ (just another inode entry for the same file in another directory) will appear to be free standing as well.
I don’t work very often with Anime media. Everything I’ve seen has always been such that it’s difficult. It’s not really a television series or movie in the traditional sense and therefore it’s the square peg in one of two round holes.
