Hashing on iOS loops [beta timeline]
Dear Immich devs,
I am on iOS and Immich 1.139.2 on truenas using the beta timeline, but this problem first appeared on v1.138.
Problem:
Immich is bouncing back and forth between a completed hash-job and a few thousand assets remaining to be hashed. This causes unnecessary power consumption.
Background:
I’ve had previously had problems with hashing taking weeks, which I could overcome by setting the screen lock to „never“ and keeping Immich in the foreground for the day.
During that initial hash run, Immich crashed, as it saturated my phone’s storage. After a restart of the phone and freeing up space. Immich was able to complete the hash job.
Thank you for your work on the beta timeline. It’s a big gem!

How it looks after it’s completed the hash job.

How it looks after it’s forgotten the last few thousand hashes.

We have identified a possible case where the hash data might be lost for already hashed assets. We are discussing internally on how efficiently to handle this. This is definitely on our radar
Thank you for getting back so quickly.
Do you need my logs or other data?
Not at the moment, thanks 🙂 If you still face the issue after we fix the existing bug, we can troubleshoot it further
I think that this is happening to me too. I’ve been running Immich for a year now probably but now it has only hashed 16000 out of 37000 images and it doesn’t seem like it will ever finish as it only goes up a few every time I open the app
Is there a git issue for this that I can track?
