Julien Cassette developed ZFS reflink support for both the Radarr and Sonarr repositories, extending copy-on-write file transfer capabilities to ZFS volumes. By updating backend C# services to invoke TryCreateRefLink and TryRenameFile during copy and move operations, Julien ensured parity between ZFS and existing Btrfs workflows. This integration improved large-file transfer performance and storage efficiency, reducing I/O load for media libraries. Julien’s work in backend development and system programming focused on cross-filesystem compatibility, laying groundwork for future optimizations. The depth of the implementation addressed both technical consistency and scalability, enhancing the developer experience across Radarr and Sonarr’s file system operations.

January 2025 Monthly Summary: Implemented ZFS reflink support in Radarr and Sonarr to extend copy-on-write performance to ZFS volumes. Ensured parity with Btrfs reflink flows by invoking TryCreateRefLink and TryRenameFile during Copy/Move transfers, delivering faster large-file operations and better storage efficiency. This work improves scalability for growing media libraries, reduces I/O load, and provides a solid foundation for future cross-filesystem optimizations across the Radarr/Sonarr stack.
