Also, are you running two jellyfin instances at once?

where are log files generated to?


.local/share/jellyfin/log

if it is that then there are logs from a few days ago inside it but no recent ones

jellyfin dashboard -> logs

log must be missing something, only spans a 21 minute time frame and does not seem to reflect your reported 4-6 hour library scan

im redoing the scan as i added a new library a little while ago

and the logs for yesterday will not work in this case as that was me doing my first scan

i thought scans after the first scan are supposed to be alot quicker but nope

Edit:
the odd thing is the constant writing to home partition as my cache and metadata are on another drive that has no reading or writing happening
