Uploads failing because no space available

I did a fresh install of immich using docker-compose on Windows and set UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/d/family-pics (I have WSL 2 integration) in the .env, and I’ve noticed some strange things:

  • my D:/ drive has a little less than 1TB free but on the webui it shows a max capacity of 3.8gb
  • when I upload media from the webui or using the CLI, it works until I start getting 500 internal error messages and it fails. checking the webui it shows that the 3.8gb has been filled and checking immich-server container logs it is showing that no space is available on disk
  • when checking D:/family-pics after the 3.8gb of uploads, it is empty
If I were to make a guess, the media is being uploaded to within the container itself, and if so, why isn’t /mnt/d/ working?
