Expanding available storage
Hi,
first of all thanks for this amazing piece of software! Enjoyed it very much so far.
I first hooked up one empty disk with the mount point where my Immich stores the files. Now after uploading all my pictures and videos, the hard drive is nearly full already. I got another 1TB drive at hand and I would like to extend the available space. But what is the best option here?
The mount point is already used by the other partition. Have others ran into that problem too?

The mount point is already used by the other partitionWhat exactly do you mean by this? one option is to symlink each of the directories to a different mount point So in the uploads folder you have these
encoded-video immich_upload library thumbs upload
you could, for example, do ln -s encoded-video /mnt/foo/bar
make sure to shut down docker and move that directory's contents before doing the linkYou can also use mergerfs to create a combined mount. Just make sure to set the policies so that new files get created in the emptier drive.
