The bug

I migrated from 1.135 to 1.136.0 and now 1.137.3 and when visualizing some images, I see a lot of instances of the following error:

[Nest] 41049  - 08/07/2025, 6:59:47 PM   DEBUG [Api:LoggingInterceptor~6ko5g2dk] GET /api/assets/4d3618a4-0dc5-4f39-b8de-c444a1692fee/thumbnail?size=thumbnail 500 10.21ms 192.168.68.105

I tried to go through the solutions described in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/20531 but I still get the error after restarting, and I didn't see the PostgreSQL issue in my logs, even in verbose mode.

One thing I thought of is that IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION=/opt/immich/upload is a symlink to a mount point: lrwxrwxrwx 1 immich immich 13 Jun 30 10:22 upload -> /mnt/storage/

Most of the most recent photos display correctly and in the database they have an absolute path in the database.

I confirmed that the path stored in the asset table for a broken asset is correct:
