Hi, @frozen notch i need some help in the folder migration in truenas. i'm followink the official doc/wiki page about migration.
My problem is: in my configuration some folder are in a different location and they are in the same place, so what i have to rsync? i'll attach the actual configuration and the files of the external folder.

I see

#

So inside data you rsynced backups, thumbs,encoded-video and profile
In pgData you rsynced the pgData
And now you have to rsync the two other folders

Can you tell me if the storage template https://my.immich.app/admin/system-settings?isOpen=storage-template is enabled on your Immich instane?

i've to restart immich, give me some minutes.
in the meanwhile i'll add that i've done this rsyncs from ix-apps:
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/backups/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/backups/
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/video/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/encoded-video/
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/library/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/library/
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/profile/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/profile/
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/thumbs/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/thumbs/
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/uploads/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/upload/
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/pgData/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/pgData/

Well your commands were fine, just
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/uploads/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/upload/
rsync -avh --progress /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/immich/library/ /mnt/Pool1/immich/data/library/
were somewhat useless, as your data for these is in fotomobile

#

exactly, but 'ive done them just in case

#

i think it's enabled

frozen notch Oct 12, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

Looks like it
Can you run the storage migration job just to be 100% certain?

#

It's the job before the last on the jobs page

tidal linden Oct 12, 2025, 3:13 PM

#

ok so the middle one, not the last one

frozen notch Oct 12, 2025, 3:13 PM

#

you can run both

tidal linden Oct 12, 2025, 3:14 PM

#

ok, they are running

frozen notch Oct 12, 2025, 3:16 PM

tidal linden Hi, <@218413626061619201> i need some help in the folder migration in truenas. i...

Once they ran, you can rsync the irene and admin folder into the library folder

#

and the 2 other can be rsynced into the upload folder

tidal linden Oct 12, 2025, 3:17 PM

#

wonderful! I think it will take a while, (the "migration" job has 15k things to do)

frozen notch Oct 12, 2025, 3:18 PM

#

Yeah no worries

#

Keep me up to date

tidal linden Oct 12, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

ok, i've done it and rsynced the four folders into library+upload
that's all, right?

frozen notch Oct 12, 2025, 5:06 PM

#

It should be, yes

#

Well don't delete the old stuff yet

#

but try to start Immich pointing to the 2 new datasets
