I let this docker run on my entire photo folder a few days ago. I wanted to free up space from videos, encode them all in x265.
I read this :
Seemed pretty safe, and the point was to free up space, I don't need to keep the original files, so I naively set it to 0 right, it seemed to work great.
Now for the fun part : the container skips all .jpg, .raw, .dng, etc. because these are not video files.
It considers that one file skipped == one file completed.
One file completed, should be deleted.
I checked on the progress in the morning and realized it was still busy slowly cutting through my decade of photography, deleting all my raws and jpgs. I had set the timer to 1 second for checking the file. 10 hours comes to approx. 36.000 files deleted. I had not yet set up my backup system, was still in the process of migrating, welp, burn me.
I immediately shut down the server, went through three days of several painfuly slow full scans of the disk and was able to recover a lot of files with UFS Explorer. I still need to sort through the result, but this is probably a huge loss for me.
But please. That documentation might be just a tad misleading. Please update it so that this doesn't happen to someone else.
