Description
I have a couple of folders connected via davfs2 to my Nextcloud VM, so they are mounted to the filesystem, i.e. "/opt/Alfresco".
These mounts are configured in Nextcloud as external storage, type "local".
Running a "fulltextsearch: index" crawls them all and the full text search works as expected. I'm then running "fulltextsearch:live" as a system service, this is confirmed working and running.
But when new files are added to one of these external storages, Nextcloud finds and scans them with the cron job, but the running fulltextsearch:live never processes and indexes them. These files are never found in any search.
When stopping the fulltextsearch:live and perfoming an "occ fulltextsearch:index", it'll immediately find and index all the missing files on the external storages.

Research direction
Start by comparing the processing path of the running fulltextsearch:live service with the fulltextsearch:index command for local external storage mounted through davfs2. Reproduce by adding a file under /opt/Alfresco, then verify that the live service indexes it and that the file appears in full-text search without rerunning the manual index command.
