When you use the laptop without the drive, is Jellyfin still running in the background? If so, this behavior is expected. As for the metadata, also expected when it is re-added. When you disconnect the drive make sure that Jellyfin has stopped before doing so. You can also have Jellyfin write NFOs and make them read only to preserve metadata.

Jellyfin 10.10.3 (Docker)
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Intel i3 12100
Intel Arc A380
OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
Storage
3x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1 (JF Library)
