scan library

I moved all my logos files to an external hard drive. I followed the instructions for scanning the folder but every time I search for something it seems to tell me to download the book.

Storing Logos on an external drive is not supported. Exactly what did you do and what instructions did you follow?

The ones here but I am not sure they worked. Additionally, I tried to scan library of the external https://wiki.logos.com/Install_in_different_folder_or_drive

Curious about operating system ?

Scan is not mentioned on https://wiki.logos.com/Install_in_different_folder_or_drive (does mention being Unsupported and Not Recommended by Faithlife)

Scan command instructs Logos/Verbum to read folder structure for licensed resources so they can be copied into Resources folder and indexed.

Hazarding a guess (from lack of answers to questions in this thread): suspect Resources folder junction OR link is pointing to itself instead of external hard drive location.

Edit: another hazard is space(s) in external hard drive path, which were not quoted (or escaped) during link creation. Yet another hazard is volume mount point (name) of external drive changing, which would also cause junction OR link to become incorrect (so no resource files can be found).
