    The over lap of docker containers needs to happen from inside the perspective of the container. If you send Radarr to pull a movie from bittorrent, they both need to “be in the same spot”. If bittorrent thinks it’s saving a movie to /data/torrent then Radarr also needs to see the movie at /data/torrent.

    That’s why so many guides use the /data/ label scheme. Its just easy to use and implement. Side note, for hard links to work, all the folders need to be on the same drive. Can’t hard link between different drives.

      This was the crux of my confusion, but after a couple of years of Docker, it now makes more sense to me 😁
