Extremely slow network directory subfolder listing from QNAP NAS in OS X
- by Josh Newman
Having an issue where I have a folder on a QNAP NAS (TS-439P II+) with over 68,000 subfolders within it.
I can browse it quickly and almost instantaneously within Windows 7 via samba, however in OSX 10.6.8, it takes nearly 10+ minutes to display the subfolders, using both samba and AFP.
Hoping there is an easy solution - we can't break the folders into smaller subfolders due to a requirement of proprietary software that accesses the sub folders.
I've tried the fixes suggested here, which don't seem to help:
