Switched thumbs to another disk, disaster
Hi all, im running immich on docker under a ubuntu server VM.
I was storing the original files on a external nas and all the other files in the proxmox disk, but with time the size increase so i bought another disk just for the immich tems (thumb, encoded-video, etc...)
I read the changelog and i can see that the /data is optional, so i dont know what im doing wrong, because now i cant see the pictures on the gui, but i can download it, so immich have access to the original ones
If i add new ones, they work
Immich 1.137.3

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.
You should troubleshoot to see if those mount points can be seen inside the server container
i need to effectively mount the folders like /mnt/immich-speed/upload/thumbs inside the immich container
a volume mount on /data is created... thats because is not recognizing the mount points?
Just want to store the thumb and encoded video on another place
yeah make sure that
Is accessible from within the container
I checked and is all accesible from inside the container. I tried running a job to rebuild thumbnails but i receive

Error: VipsJpeg: premature end of JPEG imagehmm looks like something is up with your system, can you try remove the docker images and re pull them?
I did:
1) Docker compose down
2) Erase all images related to immich
3) Docker compose up -d
This error appears when opening a image

For the new images, they are well stored on the external volume "fotos-familia-originales", but i dont get were are all the produced files being stored, its seem that on that new volume created mounted on /data, but if i go to that folder inside the container is emptyso from the docker immich server, it is looking for this path
if you are exec into the immich_server container, I am pretty sure that the file isn't exist there
thats true, i dont know why but its not there. Its seems i need to regenerate all the thumbs
make sure to double check your mount point at
/mnt/immich-speed/upload/thumbs and /mnt/immich-speed/upload/encoded-videoI checked and its searching on the "new" second folder, i think my original thumbs where on the 4.1G
but anyway, if its gonna work just rebuilding the thumbnails i can wait
it means there is a new users?
not at all, but i copy the original upload folder and move it to another disk, so maybe that move broke the relation?
