disk not being scanned by library

[JuJuJurassic 49]

Running Ubuntu 20.04.6 

I've added a couple of old SSDs, I'm copying over content and while doing so thought I'd do a library scan. but the new content isn't being seen

I got

I checked the inodes, they seem ok;

root@emby:/data/sandisk4# df --inodes /data/sandisk3
Filesystem       Inodes IUsed    IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda1      29310976  1078 29309898    1% /data/sandisk3

the content on sandisk1 and sandisk2 is fine and seen by emby, but not sandisk 3 or sandisk4

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It seems like you added and removed it several times and now you just need to run a full scan of all libraries and allow that to finish.

Hi Luke, I tried that several times, but it.dodnt work, ok in the end I kicked.off my family. Not a popular move, and rebooted. The emby process.was.hung, it.wouldnt go.past.it. after waiting 30 minutes I powered ioff the server and.its.come.up.happy with the libraries updated.
