The same problem has been reported by others, there is a support thread over at Roon community. It seems related to a specific type of Linux file system. Mounting the local disk as a logical network share is a workaround but for reasons I won’t detail here not applicable for me unfortunately.
There are other ways around that I could deploy but it’s just tîme consuming and is 180 degrees away from the non complexity I like Roon for in the first place.

Hello Bernard, I see you are using a Melco N10! Are your local music files stored on the Melco? I also use an N10 on which I have about 1.8TB of music and an ext. Drive with 1.5TB of stored music! It took a few hours until all files were back in Roon, but 1.8 has been running without problems for 3 days!
I hope there will be a solution to your problem immediately!

Hi K4680,
Thanks for your kind feedbacks!
No, in fact I am using a Melco S10 as hub but my music server is a Linux based Mojo Audio Deja vu Evo.
The problem is pretty well identified, Roon 1.8 in its initial release wasn't able to see the local folders of some versions of Linux using some file system. I have just upgraded to the latest update and it does unfortunately not fix the problem.
Cheers,
Bernard

12 days after submission Roon acknowledged that the issue is real and was reproduced.

20 days and still no solution, just a support update that they are working on it.
I decided to bite the bullet and redirect my core to a NAS. Such a waste of time.
Does it sound better? Possibly yes.
I must say that with the Esoteric N-01XD and the right cables my system sounds extremely un-digital. It equates and probably out does the best vinyl based Systems I have had the chance to hear in terms of organic and unharshness while still being clean and defined.
But I am still mad at Roon. Grrrrrr...
