Yesterday when I was looking at Photoprism, and synching from one drive to two other drives, and a second instance I noticed that for some reason I only had the last two months of photos. I eventually noticed that the photos are now living in run/media/… rather than /media/… and it is for this reason that Photoprism could see recent photos but not the entire library.
media/username/library still mounts, but the proper mount point is run/media/username/library moving forward. That’s why I could see recent photos but not photos from before the OS update.
I then need to take two further steps, which I have not taken.
The first is: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/medialibrary and then:
# /etc/fstab – clean and reliable
UUID=your-drive-uuid /mnt/medialibrary ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2
disclaimer: This is just an example, not for tutorial purposes.
## Reconciliation
The next step is to reconcile the “media” library that was created with the correct new source at run/media/username/drive and to update the docker yaml file. Once that is done, things are back to the new normal.
I am glad the issue was easy to resolve.
