I managed to resurrect an old Quantum Snap Server 2000 from our storage, get the firmware up to date to support LBA48 drives, and upgrade the box from 2x10GB Quantum IDE's to 2x Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160's, and create the RAID-0 array (movie storage for MyMovies
). I got the shares set, and just left everything wide open, as I am confident in my home networks security (read I am the only one that will be accessing it).
Everything runs fine, with one exception. When I RDP into my current file server and go into the NAS share that I set up, and right click > NEW FOLDER, I get a normal "new folder" creation. When I do it from my newly built Vista Ultimate HTPC box (same exact operation), I get a pause...Windows Exporer appears to hang, and then crashes. When I go into the NAS share to see what's up, I get "New Folder" directories with appended directory names all the way to "New Folder (199)" (which incidentally is the maximum number of folders at a top level share of the NAS device. This is repeatable, and I'm not sure what's up, and why there's a difference between XP and Vista.
Anyone know what the hell is causing this? I intend to use the NAS box for DVD rip storage for MyMovies, at least until I get a larger capacity SATA drive for the HTPC.
