Error when uploading photos
Hi! on unraid, the Immich has an error. Only when I indicate that the photos are saved on a HDD of the main array. (/mnt/user/immich) if I indicate the docker with the folder photos in a pool, there is no error (mnt/download/immich) It is strange.
Something happens with symlinks in the main array. I had problems with a postgressql DB in the past because of something like this. What happens if I leave immich in the main array without symlinks "working"? Is it something mandatory for immich?

Immich doesn’t use symlink, and I haven’t used Unraid yet 🤔
Are you using docker-compose installation method?
Hi Alex, I use the official Docker-Compose from your GitHub
Files get uploaded into the
upload/ folder and then, after exif extraction, they get moved to another path, based on the storage template. Basically, then get moved into library/ and placed in a folder structure that uses the date of the photo. The "move" operation uses this library https://github.com/andrewrk/node-mv to perform the actual system call, depending on the type of system.
If this call fails, the only downside is that your picture will stay in the upload/ folder, but I believe everything else will continue to work as expected.
