Update data fails...
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with Immich.
So far, I've uploaded all my photos to my NAS (Ugreen DXP2800) and linked them to Immich as external read-only libraries.
I'm using this setup to give myself some time to study and better understand Immich.
While browsing the Immich library, I noticed that some of the photos have incorrect EXIF data. In particular, the creation/modification date in a few rare cases is set to something like January 10, 2032. As a result, these photos are displayed as the most recent ones — they're from the future!
I used a dedicated EXIF metadata editor to correct the dates, setting the correct creation and modification dates (they are now identical).
After that, I selected the photos in Immich and requested an EXIF data rescan.
The next day, the photos were still in the same place. I restarted the Immich server, but nothing changed. I suspect it's because Immich is still busy with face detection and recognition tasks. So, I paused all ongoing processes and tried requesting the EXIF rescan again. Unfortunately, it still doesn't seem to work.
I also noticed that one of the external folders I added, which contains about 400GB of photos and videos, seems to have been ignored — except for one or two subfolders.
So I manually triggered a library scan, but that process also seems to fail.
Could you please help me understand how to perform a proper analysis? Which logs should I look at, and where can I find them, to understand what Immich server is actually doing?
