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 ...
If you've read this thread, you'll see that I’ve had an ongoing issue with my all-Mac network. Very frequently the listing for a 2.7TB directory on a 4.25TB share is not accurate when first displayed. It may take anywhere from seconds to even five or more minutes for the directory to magically refresh itself with complete information and display all the directories.
Several people have responded with suggestions that I’ve tried but nothing seems to have worked. One post implied that the directory might simply be too large for the combination of MacOS and the Netgear Firmware to handle.
So, I’m wondering if converting that one directory to be a separate share might ameliorate the problem.
Any input on this would be helpful.
Then, if I decide to make the change, how do I convert a subdirectory on a share to become a new share?
Thanks for any input.
