I have a very strange issue and I'm hoping someone knows the root cause.

 

I have a share set up in Unraid for my photos.  That share is accessible over SMB.  When accessing it over SMB, I can see three files.  When I browse to the share from the Unraid shares tab, I can only see one of the files.  Accessing the directory via a terminal as root, I can see all three files.  If I look at the ownership and permissions via terminal 'ls -al', all three files have the same owner and permissions.

 

This has meant that, whilst I can see three of my photos over SMB, my PhotoStructure docker container can only see one of the photos.

 

I've run the tool "Docker Safe New Perms" and that didn't fix the problem.

 

I moved the files over SMB onto my PC, deleted them and then copied them back, this didn't fix the issue.

 

I deleted the files, copied them from my PC into a different Unraid share and then used 'mv' in the Unraid terminal to copy them into the Photos share.  This fixed the issue, the trouble is that I have no idea why....

 

I'm concerned that a number of my Photos might be hidden from my docker containers in this way.  I have tens of thousands of photos so a manual check is out of the question.  Any suggestions as to what the issue was and how I can check to make sure the rest off the files on my Photos share are OK?

Click on the photostructure container icon in the GUI, select the support item, then post your question there, along with your docker run command. Sounds to me like you may have mapped the container to a location that only includes part of the share.
