Assets lost during migration
Dear all
I am finally migrating to immich and I am facing an issue with missing assets.
The first attempts were more successful in terms of completeness, but I was facing issues with the timeline as copying photos (from Synology Photos folder) changed timestamps. Now, several thousand photos seem to disappear - this situation seems to be reproducable as I have already retried it.
What I did:
- Mount USB drive on NAS1
- Create a tar archive with tar -cf <Synology Photos folder> to an USP drive
- Unarchive with tar -xf
- Delete all @eaDir folders with thumbnails recursively
- Mount USB drive to NAS2
- Upload photos with the following command:
docker run -it -v "$(pwd)":/import:ro \
Crawling for assets...

Successfully uploaded 11910 new assets (31.2 GB)
Skipped 19 duplicate assets (6.6 MB)
Why does the progress bar stay at 99%?
In the Server statistics overview I now see:
Photos: 8.725 (16 GiB)
Videos: 676 (13 GiB)
Usage: 29 GiB
I expected to see 11910 assets in total, but apparently there are only 9401.
Is this a known error or am I doing something wrong? My wife has even 4 times number of photos.
Thank you
Patric
