exportdb --report fails when export db is not in root of export dir

[RhetTbull]

Thank you very much for your prompt responses! I really appreciate the help.

Can you try the following command and email the report.csv output? @RhetTbull

Unfortunately, I received an error after using this command. No report results found for run ID 0. I also tried other IDs such as -1 or -9. Perhaps I'm using the command incorrectly? I double checked that I'm pathing the db correctly.

Also, here is the only discussion I can find on the files I'm seeing being exported.

check my SMB settings and compare with yours @oPromessa

Thank you for the link. I'm exporting about 30k photos, not many videos. This is an older iMac with an extremely slow HDD as its boot drive. It takes 5min just to run the command! I don't think the issue is with the smb but instead with the macOS HDD. It fails after so many hours because the volume is consistently unmounted at 4am. Probably because of a backup or mirror job I have on the nas. I will look into it if getting rid of previews does not reduce the export time. After 16hrs (?) it's not even halfway anyway, and the library is only 300GB in total size.

Thanks again for both your folks' help so far!
