Photos gone after template migration

After changing the storage label for a user and running the Storage Template Migration Job, plenty of photos for the profile are gone.

The logs only say:
[Nest] 7  - 05/15/2025, 8:25:38 PM     LOG [Microservices:StorageTemplateService] Starting storage template migration
[Nest] 7  - 05/15/2025, 8:28:07 PM     LOG [Microservices:StorageTemplateService] Finished storage template migration


I see the files that were not migrated were kept under the old user storage label, so they are not totally gone.

Questions:
  1. How can I recover the photos?
  2. How can I get more info to why the job failed so it can be investigated?
Not sure how relevant:
  • Running on a RPI 5, 8GB RAM, ext4, brand new setup.
  • No issues accessing any other photos and videos.
  • Proxying through nginx, but unrelated (no issues uploading/downloading files).
  • Immich is otherwise working just fine.
  • Using the default composer configuration file.
