TrueNAS Scale - Radarr/Sonarr/qBit files taking up double space (alien.top)

I have Radarr and Sonarr set up with qBittorrent on TrueNAS scale.

qBittorrent downloads to a certain folder, then I believe Radarr and Sonarr are supposed to hardlink to those files to their respective directories, without taking up extra space.

However, TrueNAS is telling me each of these datasets (qbit downloads and radarr/sonarr folders) is taking up space, effectively doubling the usage when it should not be.

Ex. qBittorrent Downloads dataset: 400GB used

Radarr/Sonarr datasets: 400GB used

Anyone have any ideas?

That could be the reason. I have separate datasets for each app, but downloads and media are both mounted to radarr and sonarr.
