Error importing some photos in external library

I've installed Immich with a view to replacing Synology Photos. I installed using docker compose on ubuntu 22.04.5, following the install instructions on the home website.

For now I am using an external library:

- /mnt/nas/photo:/usr/src/app/external/photo:ro

After "importing" almost 200,000 photos (after 24 hours). I thought all was great, but then I noticed some photos were missing. Quite a few.

I started over and got the same problem another day later.

So I tried a third time. Rather than importing the whole photo directory, this time I imported several separate external libraries using individual subdirectories from my main photo directory (I store things in yearly subdirectories). I knew one year was missing a lot of photos so it would be easy to notice.

Importing my 2007 directory, for example, all seems fine, but importing my 2008 directory shows nothing gets uploaded. Permissions are the same for both directories and I tried changing them away and back again on the NAS to no avail.

Looking at the logs, I get a lot of errors when I try to scan the 2008 folder. What is wrong with my files?
