One thing we all must be cautious of on these linux boxes, ESPECIALLY when we have perfectly curated media (photos and music are the biggest hitters)…
We have so many directories (Album artist / album / disc # / blah blah – is a big one ) we easily overflow.
The fix for that is simple:
- Use FileStation → Right Click the specific media folder → Properties
- It will count the number of folders in it
- Total all the folders used for all your media.
- If that number exceeds 65536 on Synology – we need to increase the table size.
– If it’s close to that number, we should probably increase it now anyway while we’re thinking about it.
The process is simple. (You’ll need to re-run this after DSM updates… which is why I wrote it this way)
