thanks for the reply, looks like it is the hardlink support…
Should have also mentioned the storage backend is running on a stablebit drivepool and from what i’m reading on that it does not and cannot support hardlinks
Solution I guess is to move data folder out of the drivepool to a single drive, i’ll try that and update…
and if that doesn’t work i’ll flag the whole cifs approach and give it its own drive, it’s running on a Virtual Machine but I imagine I must be able to attach a physical drive to it somehow…
