External Library - 0 Images

Hello, I'm running Immich v1.140.1 via Docker Compose on Ubuntu. My photo library is on an external NTFS drive mounted via /etc/fstab with uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002.

The external library path (/data) validates correctly in the UI. From inside the immich-server container, I can confirm the volume is mounted and all files are visible. Running the command find /data -type f | wc -l returns 48,879.

However, when I run a library scan from the UI, it completes instantly and finds 0 files. The immich-server logs do not show any permission errors during the scan. I have already done a full database reset.

It seems the scanner is not processing the files it has access to. Can you offer any advice?
