Hello,
I am trying an initial import of my photo library mounted over NFS but can’t seem to get anything to import. I realized the issue around uuid files and fixed that but still no luck.
Here is the error that keeps popping up as I tail the logs:
2022-10-02T02:27:11.056Z sync-file-1194 error AssetFileImporter(/mnt/photos/…) _apply(): unexpected missing asset file id { path: '/mnt/photos/
Any ideas where I should start looking first?
Thanks!
Cancel that - just fixed it. So after fixing the UUID issue, I just deleted the entire .photostructure database folder and started from scratch. Now photos are importing properly.
Welcome to PhotoStructure, @dcela , apologies things didn’t just work right out of the box for you!
Read-only NFS mounts should work. PhotoStructure should see that it can’t extract a UUID from that mountpoint, and resort to a psnet: URI for those files.
The issue with psnet: paths are that they rely on a stable host name and share name. There are a couple swings I take to try to normalize the hostname if it changes (like asking the local named to round-trip to IP address and back to hostname), but I suspect most people’s networks don’t have reverse DNS records.
If you have the time, can you DM me the result of grep nfs /proc/mounts so I can try to see what went sideways? Please XXX out any credentials.
OK–please ping me or pop into Discord if you see anything else amiss!
Cheers 
I’m experiencing the same issue trying to import files over NFS, all the logfiles showing “_apply(): unexpected missing asset file id.” What was your fix for the UUIDs?
