Storage issue
Little confused with my immich installation. My data (on a separate mounted disk) continues to rise compared to my local storage amount on my iphone. iPhone says I only have 9.29GB's of photos that are optimized but I have 52GB used?

Not all 53gb are consumed by immich-server, this is just disk information from the machine if i understand correctly.
Correct, see the server stat for better information
Well I'm in a pickle because I have another thread open where I'm missing the admin page.
Storage says 9.2 GB's as well. Puzzled that the drive is filling up since nothing else should be using that drive. Dedicated mapping to a specific drive and immich only
Immich generates some thumbnails, transcoded videos, etc. I'm not sure where the storage number comes from but I think it is only originals. You could manually check how big the "upload" folder is. The one set in the .env for UPLOAD_LOCATION
The storage number can take into account the file system if it is not mounted from let’s say samba
Hmm I'll have to look at that too. Its not using my storage device.
Is it set in the env file?

I'm very certain I set this up with a mount point but today has been a pretty rough day.
Oh no, sorry to hear that
No biggie just one of those weeks you want to end
Since this seems to be linux/system related I'll take it back and look at it myself.
Usually restarting and check the system log would show reason why it doesn’t mount correctly
FYI in the admin panel you can see actual storage use by user etc
Yes, that's true but for some reason the data, while stored under /immich-storage/data is not storing data on the mounted storage.
Seems that data is being stored locally rather than through my data disk on my azure VM
Any best practices to migrate over the data to a new data drive or just a mv /data /data2
I would use cp or rsync to move it over, just to keep the old data around until you're sure the new location is working ok
got it
