How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

The following error is thrown when I add a single document into a workspace in the "Documents" dialog menu:

1 documents failed to add.

Failed to add batches to table simply: lance error: LanceError(IO): Generic LocalFileSystem error: Unable to copy file from /app/server/storage/lancedb/simply.lance/_versions/3.manifest to /app/server/storage/lancedb/simply.lance/_versions/3.manifest-d7cb5fd1-c515-490d-9308-cc819b744353: Invalid cross-device link (os error 18), /home/build_user/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/lance-table-0.12.1/src/io/commit.rs:240:52

Attaching a file in the chat would see it embedded without issue though.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

Not within our scope as it is a LanceDB error - however this has been addressed by their team

Yeah that's fair. The issue in the linked lancedb repo indicates that LanceDB isn't designed to work in symlinked systems. However, I don't understand how this wouldn't be a problem in a networked environment such as with me running it on Kubernetes.

For anyone else that encountered this issue, I just switched to ChromaDB (I forgot there were multiple options for the vector store), and it's been working great.
