So I copied maybe 10G of assets from my Google Photos into an S3 space and told Photostructure to “Rebuild (slow)” overnight and it did find the new assets (I had new tags). My Photostructure library is still local block-storage but I also added my S3 space as a directory to scan, as described above.
So now I’m copying the rest of my 150G of assets, but my question is: should I change my Photostructure library to the S3 space, or just my S3 space as another directory to scan, or is there even a difference?
One concern I have is something you said here:
Make sure
/ps/tmpis a fast local disk (SSD would be great).
Will Photostructre be able to address an S3 space as the main library fast enough, or will it present as an unusably slow interface, or will it crash Photostructure? I guess we’ll see!
