External Library showing excluded folder that doesn't show in file system

So, I've had an external library imported into Immich on Unraid with a path of "/mnt/user/Pictures", I have an exclusion of "/.photostructure/" however I still see photos in the timeline of "/Pictures/PS/.photostructure/previews/000/006/"

The odd thing is that I can't find the folder path of "/Pictures/PS/.photostructure/" in my folder at all but somehow Immich still picks it up. The PS folder was created in windows and I have checked for a hidden folder. I'm out of ideas on how to either get rid of these files in the folder or exclude them. I have also run the scan after the exclusion.

/.photostructure//.photostructure/ That path does not make any sense

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:34 PM

That'd mean you'd have a .photostructure.photostructure folder at the root

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:35 PM

How did you try to find that folder, since you're saying you can't find it?

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:35 PM

Files with a name that starts with a dot are hidden by most file systems by default

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:36 PM

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 5:38 PM

How are you looking for the folder, what sort of filesystem is it on, what pieces are involved (eg network mounts)?

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:38 PM

Correct, this is from Photoshop, they also look like thumbs that photoshop put in a hidden folder. The thing is, I view all hidden folders as well and don't see it.

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:39 PM

This folder was migrated from Winodws over to Unraid and sits on the Array (Linux). No network mounts for this.

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:41 PM

I know this is most likely not an Immich issue per se. To me it's like the files are there but I just can't see them. I've mounted the folder and looked in Windows, used midnight commander, tried krusader.

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 5:41 PM

Have you tried just plain ls -als -a directly on unraid?

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:44 PM

I have in the folder and it doesn't list the .photostructure folder

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:46 PM

In which folder exactly?

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:49 PM

Sorry must not have hit enter on the screen grab

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:50 PM

On the unraid side you're at /Pictures/Pictures, no?

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 5:50 PM

Is the path inside the container /Pictures/Pictures or /mnt/user/Pictures/mnt/user/Pictures?

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:50 PM

Not at /mnt/user/Pictures/mnt/user/Pictures

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 5:50 PM

The screenshots are conflicting

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:52 PM

So, the docker sees the shares as /Pictures, but Unraid will see the folder as /mnt/user/Pictures.

VVodoBaas1 Click to see attachment

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 5:53 PM

The screenshots here say /mnt/user/Pictures/mnt/user/Pictures in various places though

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:56 PM

I mean it depends on what side I'm on. I might have the exclusion incorrect because it's in the docker, but it loaded them forever ago and I hadn't looked at that. But /mnt/user/Pictures would be what Unraid would see the folder mapped as. Immich should see the folder mapped as /Pictures

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:56 PM

No, it says that /mnt/user/Pictures/mnt/user/Pictures is inside the container

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:57 PM

We're talking about the correct side

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:57 PM

The first screenshot was of the container, so I'm not sure which your reffering to then.

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:57 PM

Sorry, typoed

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 5:58 PM

The first screenshot says "Container path: /mnt/user/Pictures"

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 5:58 PM

Which suggests to me that'll be the path inside the container

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:58 PM

And on the second you're using /mnt/user/Pictures/mnt/user/Pictures as the path for the external lib

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:59 PM

The first is stating that the path on Unraid /mnt/uer/Pictures will be /Pictures in Immich.

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:59 PM

Pretty sure it's vice versa

Daniel•12/14/24, 5:59 PM

Otherwise the labels would be incredibly confusing

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 5:59 PM

Yes, your right that it does point to the wrong thing in Immich which I just saw when you showed that

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 6:00 PM

that's why Immich see this.

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:01 PM

Ok, let's do a thing

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:01 PM

Get a shell on your unraid server

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:01 PM

And run docker container inspect immich_serverdocker container inspect immich_server

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 6:03 PM

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:03 PM

Ffs

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:03 PM

Sorry

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:03 PM

immich-serverimmich-server

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:03 PM

Those container names are killing me

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 6:05 PM

What's Ffs, sorry don't know that one

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:05 PM

"For fuck's sake", because I was annoyed by getting the container name wrong (again)

VodoBaas1OP•12/14/24, 6:05 PM

ah lol

DDaniel `immich-server`

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 6:06 PM

It might not be this either

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 6:06 PM

In which case

docker ps

docker ps

Bbo0tzz It might not be this either

Daniel•12/14/24, 6:06 PM

Huh?

bo0tzz•12/14/24, 6:06 PM

It's not a compose setup
