Library scan keeps failing - mattmattn - 2023-09-11

Hey all, I'm having issues with scanning remotely mounted libraries. The logs show the following right as the job fails:

Code:

[2023-09-12 00:05:24.625 +02:00] [INF] "Scan Media Library" Failed after 2 minute(s) and 59 seconds

The system is Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, with an Intel i7-7700 CPU and 64GB RAM. Jellyfin version is 10.8.10. System load is normal, plenty of disk space (NVMe) and health is OK. The remote storage is a Ceph cluster and is pretty snappy. Has anyone seen this kind of thing before?

Same issue here, except it's not on network storage.
Did you find a solution to this Problem?

RE: Library scan keeps failing - Reluctant1373 - 2023-10-29

Actually might have fixed it myself, for me the problem seems to have been, that i deleted collections from Metadata Manager.
After adding a collection all the old Collections were still there, so after i deleted each of them individually (don't use them anymore) Library Scan are working again.
I don't know how or if it wasn't related and just luck but that worked for me.
