Immich not recognizing mounted volume

This is my first time using docker. But I was following the guide on the immich documentation site.

I modified the .env file to use the mounted drive but when I open up immich on the web it only shows that its using the os drive and not the mounted one. I am trying to figure out why its not showing up.

You can find documentation for all the supported env variables at https://docs.immich.app/install/environment-variables

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/immich

The location where your database files are stored. Network shares are not supported for the database

To set a timezone, uncomment the next line and change Etc/UTC to a TZ identifier from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List
