how to change where my photos are being stored?

I would like to change the default photo storage location of Immich. I am running immich in HAos and there is a setting in the Configuration section for: library_location which I have set to: /192.168.1.80/HD8TB/immich

I have tried all combinations for data_location, library_location and localdisks, but all fail to work.

These are the errors I get and the local disk mounting successfully:
