Storage / Re: Disable creation of thumbnail folders
« Last post by miltellas on February 04, 2021, 08:37:51 pm »Buffalo cant or do not want to give solution to this for not understanding reasons.
This "feature" is a nightmare... more like a bad joke. Definitely is a filesystem mess (try to rename, move and copy a media file and see what is happening in the folders) and a harddisk lifespan killer together. That Linkstation LS500 is a bad choice for a family simple and common network attached storage that do not really need "features" specially without a choice to disable them. And if you made a mistake (as many do to save some money) and put an non-nas hdd inside, it will be like 10yo in a year.
Only viable solution to this is to go heavy on money and trash this Linkstation LS500 ordering a Home NAS Station from another company, at least with better support. Maybe one of my worst choices, I wont come back, at least anytime soon. The main reason I didnt trashed it from the start and I prefered to be patient for more than one year is that it wasnt a gift to me and didnt have the money to do it earlier, so I had to live with that having some faith for an official easy solution.
A command line solution from a user mentioned above wasnt understandable at all for me. I tried but not enough info on the Internet. Couldnt find a way to use these commands on any of my windows 10 pcs. Linux maybe?
