Nail on the head. This drive is an old laptop drive formatted several eons ago! I can shift files off it and then reformat. How should I format the drive please? Is it possible to do ZFS please? Thanks On 11/11/2018 5:10 pm, mr meowski

Not sure if I have the set up correct, but when I open a folder it takes ages to load and thumbnails appear very very slowly!Is there some kind of problem with the mounted drive? Is it perhaps either a NTFS filesystem mounted via FUSE (slow) or a sub-optimally mounted network share (in this case slow)? I specifically let my Ubuntu workstation generate thumbnails for all mounted and/or remote filesystems despite their size because I too like pretty thumbnails in my operating system. Hey it's 2018 and every other operating system can do it with no problems so why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Even my NFS mounted directories with 30Gb+ mkv files thumbnail perfectly well for me with the disclaimer that once in a blue moon I have to `killall tumblerd` because the thumbnail previews seem to have stopped doing their thing properly. Potentially there actually isn't a problem here per se, and it just is a veeeery slow filesystem for some legitimate reason. Cheers |
