I'm using Windows 10 Viewing a FreeNAS share with 4752 folders. (share is sitting on a ZFS volume but I don't think that matters)
On my Windows box looking at the share it shows 4628 items but if I search for a folder I know is there it will find it. On my debian vm with spacefm when I mount the share I have 4754 items. if I run 'ls | wc -l' (from the debian vm) I get back 4754 items. if I run 'ls | wc -l' directly from the /mnt on the freenas I get 4758 items.
I'm not sure about the discrepancy of 4 items I'm missing there are but I'm really worried why I'm missing 124 folders in Windows.
Now I remember reading back a year or two ago about an issue with the default ubuntu explorer having a coded limit of how many items it could display and I've seen several articles about file system limitations but I can't find anything on Windows Explorer. I do remember seeing something a while back maybe 2 years ago again, where someone talked about how ntfs didn't have a path limitation or if it did it was insane but (in Windows 7) it was explorer that still have the 255 path limitation.
Does anyone know why I can't see all my folders displayed in Windows?
Edit: I ended up posting over in r/freenas as I think I've narrowed it down to a freenas/cifs issue.
