Radarr doesn't hard-link import downloaded movie if storage is not 2x of movie

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

Thought my hard-link setup wasn't working, downloaded a large bluray movie, and my storage was not bigger than 2x of the movie, so even though my hard-linking is working and it wouldn't take up any additional space, Radarr won't import the movie automatically because it says my storage is full

Expected Behavior

If it detects that it can hard-link, it calculates the required space differently than assuming it needs 2x space and will import itself

Steps To Reproduce

1. run Radarr with working hardlinks
2. have for example 100GB of free storage
3. download for example a 70GB movie
4. Notice Radarr won't hard-link import it because it believes there isn't enough storage

Environment

- OS: Opensuse MicroOS
- Radarr: 6.3.0.10514
- Docker Install: Podman Quadlet
- Using Reverse Proxy: no
