External Library and new external file path

I want to move all indexed files within multiple created directories (all referring to subfolders of a directory) to a new location The volume should change to ${External}:${External}/photos/day:ro but that didn’t work. So I tried ${External)/photos/day:/volume1/photos/day:ro which also not worked My .env contains: External=/volume1/private/photos/day for variant 1 External=/volume1/private for variant 2

The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider: - Your docker-compose.yml and .env files. - Logs from all the containers and their status (see above). - All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far. - Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system. - Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware). - Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h). - The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces. - Any other information that you think might be relevant. Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots. Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is.

I found this https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/6912 but I set it up totally different with photos/folder:photos/folder:ro instead of env Variables. How can I move the external lib without reindexing?

- /only/change/this/left/side:/volume1/photos/day:ro You want the path inside of the container to stay the same
