Disc 8 of my Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - The Complete Studio Albums, Vol. 1: 1976-1991 is missing in Roon, but accounted for on my server. I’ve tried rescanning and reidentifying the alum, but to no avail.
There are no tagging issues, permission issues or anything of the sort. What options and why would this happen?

In using Roon, you must be prepared to group/ungroup some discs manually. That may be due to fault in your metadata, in providers’ metadata, in Roon’s algorithm, etc. Regardless, that is just the way it is.
Agreed, but in this case Roon is breaking is own rules/guidance re how albums are to be formatted to maximize accuracy when subsequently imported, so I figure it’s worth raising for support to look into as it is likely a bug.
Are you confident that your metadata is in order, that you or your CD ripper did not tag “Full Moon Fever” as disc 1/1, for example? I would double check your work before troubling Roon support.
If you already have Full Moon Fever separately, could it be identifying this disc as a duplicate? If so, go to your other Full Moon Fever and there will be an option to “un-duplicate” the discs on the main screen.
Thanks for the prompt, it turns out you’re right. As I tagged the albums individually, then copied the album names to discsubtitle and finally renamed all albums to “The Complete Studio Albums, Vol. 1: 1976-1991” added discnumber etc. all was good on the surface. Only problem is Roon’s metadata source considers the entire box set as being by “Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers”, whereas Full Moon Fever is in fact Tom Petty’s first solo album. So, because the artist is different, the album is seen as not belonging in the box set. @joel, another corner case for Roon to figure out how to deal with when labels do as they please bundling albums into box sets. In the meantime I’ll go incorrectly attribute the artist to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and re-identify the box set.
Realize this is a somewhat dormant thread but I’ve ripped 20+ classical box sets and experienced some missing discs and tracks.
Some classical file names can have a conductor name, ensemble name, composer name, title or work, title of movement so it can get ridiculous.
After trial and error, file name length and atypical characters were the issue. I don’t have a character count threshold where it became an issue but I keeping them under 25 seemed to work. Atypical characters weren’t language based accents but rather what looked like substitutions.
