Hi, I have a drive which i setup backup in 2019. I made a 256TB Drive, but I set the cluster size too low to use it as a single filesystem. I didn't know what I was doing back then, the drive in disk manager is a Dynamic disk, and it has 2 separate ~128TB partitions on it. Drives I have created since then have a correct cluster size and are single partition basic disks.
The drive has lots of directories and file son it now, and is very slow to list them / acknowledge they exist when I browse through some of them, especially a directory that has lots of files/ directories in it.
With Meta pinning turned on, the pinned data never goes over 8.0kb , and when Directory pinning is turned on it still doesn't go over 8.0kb (so I assume its not pinning any data at all for directories, and probably none for Meta, which explains the performance.
I presume its the way the filesystem is setup that means SBCD cant pin what it needs to, perhaps it doesn't understand what needs to pin as it expects a flat single partition on a basic disk ?
Is there any way to rectify this without migrating the data to a new drive ? This would take Months to do. Probably longer because of this performance problem.
