The bug

0. Restrict access to some folders in the external library
1. Go to "external libraries"
2. Call "Scan New Library Files"
3. Observe error

Expected behavior: scanning of the library should continue

I understand that generally you probably want to fail upon errors, but this seems a valid use case (to me). Some photographs/content may be more sensitive, and may not be shared with others (including immich). It would be nice if Immich gracesfully fell back access denied errors.

I don't know if I have the same issue.
I've just installed immich (v1.122.3) on a small box I have and mounted a NAS to a local directory as RO, since I want to make shure nothing will me modified on this disk.

Configured my external library, but no photos are found.
Saw on the logs the same access denied errors. But it's odd, because it does has acess, just that it's RO.

And I tested entering bash from docker, accessed the library can also cat a JPG file inside it. Access was OK.
Can it be the same issue ?

Per this comment from @zackpollard, do we want to close this issue?

I'd say keep this open until we can get fast-glob to fix this one
