The bug

Context:
The immich-server has a fixed number of media files. No new photos & videos are created on the mobile device. Every time I uninstall / install the App the storage size used is increasing and no duplicates appears in the server.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Uninstall the iOS App
  2. Install again the Immich Mobile app
  3. Open immich & introduce server url & credentials (every iteration with the same credentials because the server has only one user)
  4. Put the mobile device in airplane mode
  5. Disable "New Timeline" in "Advanced Features"
  6. Disable Airplane Mode
  7. Select "Recent" album to backup
  8. Start backup

First iteration the storage size was:

Second iteration the storage size was:

Real size in self hosted servers.

We are not supporting the old timeline anymore. Can you confirm if you see the same behavior on the new timeline? If possible, can you perform the file count at the Library directory of the application?

You are right. The problem is the LXC container (with ZFS) in proxmox. Once i restart the proxmox LXC the size is populated correctly. Also the folder size with images is correct. Even the new timeline is working correctly.
