WARN [StorageRepository] File upload/thumbs/.../ does not exist

[maltokyo]

The bug

I use an external library, photos are curated in my own directory structure. No auto uploads, only manually placed in that library folder, where I have 1000s of directories and hundreds of thousands of photos. I have never touched any of the immich created database files or thumbnail directories manually, though recently in the logs, I start seeing endless lines of this error (see logs section below). I am not sure what is causing it, unclear from any other info in the logs. Any advice on where I can look?

### Additional information

_No response_

Not sure why this issue was converted to a discussion? Thought it might be an issue that I have 1000s of lines like this in my log

[mmomjian]

This error likely represents an underlying issue with your Immich setup and/or filesystem. If it was due to a bug in Immich we would have a lot more datapoints. Where is your ./z_immich_metadata path mapped to / what device is it on? Have you changed anything about the filesystem or permissions?

[maltokyo]

Thanks for your answer. Though ./z_immich_metadata is not mapped anywhere, it is a normal directory on the same ssd drive and in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file.
