MacOS directories incomplete
My network is small with only Macs connected. It accesses the ReadyNAS via SMB. One directory has about 16K files and/or folders. Often when I open this directory only some of the folders show up in ...
I have no solution, but would consider the following:
As only macs are on your network, why not using AFP instead of SMB services for workstation to nas communication. As the macs would be "native speakers" in that environment, things might be easier. In the end you might be able to get rid of SMB completely.

This will work now, though it is important to note that Apple has deprecated AFP - so it might not work in the long term.

What firmware are you running? I recall seeing this issue quite a while ago, but I haven't seen a recent report.
