Error: ENOENT /data/thumbs | Immich | Page 1

Hello! After several instances of Immich running smoothly and without any issues, I ran into a problem when installing fresh :

[Nest] 23  - 02/10/2026, 4:40:25 PM   ERROR [Api:LoggingRepository~7bzesm74] Unable to send file: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access '/data/thumbs/b8ec5175-103e-4f32-99f7-747a3f2d0107/33/11/33110f72-da8e-498a-82dd-346873f01505_thumbnail.webp'

Running on OpenMediaVault, I tried mounting each of locations as separate volume to assure container has exact routes, however issue still persists.. Postgre/Redis is running as separate stack due to dependancies with other services.

that doesn't seem right

#

You have two mounts to /data

#

And you have IMMICH_IGNORE_MOUNT_CHECK_ERRORS set which is incredibly dangerous

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 3:47 PM

#

omg, i didnt realize in so many attempts to fix it lol..

#

ill remove the mount line just to be safe though

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 4:29 PM

#

so i fixed the lines you pointed out (thanks!), the container deploys and works.. however, when i point the volume to my 'root' photos folder it doesnt detect the whole library

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 4:38 PM

#

Is your GUI empty or is 'photos' an external library?

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

GUI loads some pictures, but just a couple of them, and the folder itself is currently a mish-mash of external library and previous installation I used

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 4:41 PM

#

What do you mean the folder is a mishmash?

#

Immich doesn't upload to external libraries so how did they get mashed 👀

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 4:42 PM

#

ah yeah in the very beginning i moved over pictures from the past to get them all in one place.. however resulted in this basically lol

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 4:42 PM

#

Right , what is the very beginning?

#

The restore time or right now

#

Do you have the upload location somehow separate still?

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 4:43 PM

#

balmy radish Right , what is the very beginning?

like first immich installation

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 4:43 PM

#

balmy radish Do you have the upload location somehow separate still?

no 😢 ..

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 4:43 PM

#

You could run Sergey's script to see what's what:
https://github.com/skatsubo/immich-library-check

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 4:44 PM

#

damn, wasnt aware of that.. let me check

#

so it detected 41 assets, all mismatched, however the whole library is around ~400gb

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 4:56 PM

#

So only 41 are in Immich?

#

Are you sure you did a restore and not just a fresh install 👀

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 4:58 PM

#

apologies for confusion.. i didnt do any restore after install.. just installed and tried to get it work as usual, but got into different issue with generating thumbnails and adjusting the stack and that led me to current state ... 😄

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

Right but if you don't do a restore, Immich just ignores existing files

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

man i really screwed up didnt i

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

After a DB restore I'd do a logout/in of the app to sync the status

trim fiber Feb 10, 2026, 5:04 PM

#

thats another factor - db is completely gone as that was a separate container and i didnt setup proper backup yet..

#

fortunately didnt do the same mistake this time

balmy radish Feb 10, 2026, 5:05 PM

#

check out what's inside of UPLOAD_LOCATION/backups
