Hi

I have a 2010 Mac mini with an 128GB SSD installed myself. And I have an external drive in which I stored my Photos library file.

The Photos library in the external drive has been assigned as the system library. So it has nothing to do with the local SSD I installed in my Mac mini.

But I kept getting warning messages saying the SSD is about to be full. I checked the storage chart in the System Information and looks like it is taking the library on the external drive "locally". Look at the pic the SSD is only 119.82GB and it contains a 267.01 Photos library. How funny.

How to correct this?
