#Immich does not actually delete files in an external library?

Ive imported a folder with photos into immich, and then i delete some of them, emptied the trash, and then ran the "remove offline files" job on the external library.

But when i rescan the library the deleted photos returned. Is this expected behavior?

Your external library is moutned as read only

empty harbor
#

does :ro not set it to be delete-able?

twilit blade
#

RO = Read only. AKA the container can't modify

empty harbor
#

oooooo

#

here i was thinking it was a greek symbol lol

twilit blade
#

Haha. No no, you can keep localtime as RO, but if you would like to modify the external lib you should remove :ro
