This is not a gigantic issue, but...

I have thousands and thousands of files on my maxtor one touch external hard drive which is connected to the Pogoplug Pro. I copied about 70 or so files last night to the drive using the Pogoplug connection.  The files did copy. I used my office computer.

This morning -at home-- I looked at the Pogoplug/Maxtor files in the windows computer tree folder structure.  I got different reads in terms of the number of files on the same folder--alternately, 483 (!) to 16,000 +.  The files I copied the night before -I verified this by accessing the Maxtor from the web interface ("My Pogoplug View").  Can't account for the discrepancies.  I AM dealing with a very large number of files -- over 30,000- and it takes any computer a long time to list those files.

Any insights? Advice? Explanations for this?

Thanks

Phil

Hello,

You cannot have more than 16,384 files in one view.

Even approaching this number may push the limits of what our API can return depending on how busy the service and/or Pogoplug is at that moment, filename lengths, etc. We recommend that you try keeping the number of files displayed at one time significantly lower by re-organizing folders in such a way to avoid the need of displaying all 16,000+ of your files at once.

The only limit to the Pogoplug is your imagination... and C skills... and linux skills. ^_^ h\t\tp://download.pogoplug.com/opensource/pogoplug-gcc.tar.bz2

Thanks --that explains the "problem." I do not care about seeing the total number of files. I was merely concerned that the files --all of them --were in fact there.

Thanks again.

Phil
