Show disk usage based on UPLOAD_LOCATION instead of root filesystem

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes – the current storage indicator shows usage of the root filesystem, not the actual location where media is stored when using an external volume.

---

Describe the solution you'd like

Immich should display disk usage based on the UPLOAD_LOCATION path defined in the .env file (e.g., /mnt/immich/upload). This would give a more accurate representation of available storage space when using bind-mounted external disks or large NAS volumes.

---

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now the only workaround is to ignore the storage UI, which can be confusing especially for new users who think Immich is running out of space, when it's actually writing to a larger external volume.

---

Additional context

Running Immich inside a Proxmox LXC container with /mnt/immich/upload mapped to a 500 GiB disk. Immich correctly stores all media there, but the UI shows only the container's internal disk usage (e.g., 11 GiB total). Would be great if the UI reflected the actual disk usage on the mounted path.

Immich reports the disk usage of the UPLOAD_LOCATION/library folder, not the root fs.

I have the same issue. /dev/sdb1 mounted to /mnt/data/ and Immich correctly stores all data at /mnt/data/immich. However, the frontend tells me the usage of /dev/sda1 (confirmed via df -h).
