RN4220 24TB share mapped drive in Windows 10 shows as FAT and only 400GB
I have a 4220 (fw version 6.9.5) with a share that I'm trying to map on a new laptop. My old laptop mapped the drive fine and it shows up as NTFS and works without issues.
On my new laptop whe...
So I may have figured it out. I had weird issues with other applications such as MS Outlook connecting to the Exchange server and it turned out to be an issue with IPv6.
Once I disabled IPv6, I removed and remapped the drive to the NAS and now I see the full capacities as expected as well as being able to copy large files.
I'm still unsure why I could map the drive since IPv6 routing isn't configured nor officially supported in our infrastructure, nor why IPv6 would affect how the actual mapping behaved.
Regardless, it is working now.

Fortunately I do not need to wrestle with this. However, here is a guide how to setup network drives with group policies. You might want to have a look at example2, which lays out the process for individual users in contrast to example1 dealing with a department network drive.

Windows 10 still might use link local ipv6 addresses. I always recommend disabling ipv6 in the NAS unless your infrastructure uses it.
