I've been following GH's log as I'm writing data to a test setup. There are three drives, the shares folder is on the first drive. Now I copy a file to a share (in the screenshot below called Photography). In this case I'm using the alternative drive selection algorithm so drives 0 and 1 are chosen. Copying the new file test_file_4 to drive 0 is postponed because it's on the same drive as the shares folder. The file is then copied to drive 1 and on the share on drive 0 a symlink is created to the file on drive 1. So far so good.
Judging from the next log entries it seems to me that GH now attempts to use rename to copy the new file from the shares folder to the gh folder on drive 0. It then fails because file sizes don't match (presumably because the rename command copies the symlink rather than the actual file?).
Then GH copies the file on drive 1 to drive 2 and creates a symlink in the shares folder to the file on drive 2. Then it creates another copy on drive 0 and removes the (previously copied) file on drive 1.
So it looks like the rename error creates a lot of unnecessary copies.
I then tried the same with the default drive selection algorithm. The output is a bit different but the rename still fails and it looks like an additional copy (from drive 2 to drive 0 in this case) is done.
Would you be able to check that out? Or is there anything I can change in my setup?
