Issues with upload to immich server

Hi everyone!

I recently had to restore my proxmox server from a backup due to the boot drive failing and ever since i recovered my immich container i'm having trouble uploading media to the server.

Here's my current setup: I have truenas installed on proxmox with a folder mounted via smb to the proxmox server. I then pass this mount point through to the immich container

Fstab config:
//192.168.1.187/photos /mnt/nas/photos cifs _netdev,x-systemd.automount,noatime,strictsync,uid=0,gid=0,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,username=user,password=password 0 0 
//192.168.1.187/photos /mnt/nas/photos cifs _netdev,x-systemd.automount,noatime,strictsync,uid=0,gid=0,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,username=user,password=password 0 0 


When i start a backup on my phone, immich server shows these errors in the docker terminal when trying to upload media:

I'm able to read/write in the lxc and also in the docker container so i dont think it's a permissions issue, but im having trouble debugging this error message.

If anyone has any ideas i would really appreciate it!
