raphaelmsx Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Hi. Can I rename a PoolPart.* folder? Or when adding a hdd create a shorter name after PoolPart. ? It's too long... Thanks! Quote
0 Shane Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Hi, the PoolPart.* folders cannot be renamed. You could create a shorter symbolic link or junction to a poolpart, but as it is generally not recommended to access poolparts directly (e.g. except for initial seeding) is there a particular reason you need to?

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted February 13 Posted February 13 They posted a ticket too, but since the information is super useful, I wanted to post it here, too: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry This covers the two main methods to deal with path length issues (which I suspect is the root issue here). Namely, the registry hack for Win32's long path support (which I've personally found is either finicky or outright doesn't work). Or using full UNC paths (eg, adding "\\?\" to the beginning of the path), which I've found works much better. This format is supported by .NET programs, full. So things like Emby, and Jellyfin should work just fine with (Plex should too).n Quote
