Okay. So this has GOT to be a "default formatting options" issue.
I've got a 14t I've installed in a gang usb enclosure and am pulling 1.6t off my NAS to back it up on the new platters.
At about 1.1 it puked saying the volume was full.
Virgin disc.
What the what?
I formatted it exFat with defaults through Win11, hoping to avoid compatibility problems when I finally get off my keister and hang it off a linux box.
I remember in ye olde days how you used to have to be careful about inodes taking more space than small files themselves, leading to a disc bloated with more directory entries than content.
But this is pretty dramatic even for that.
I've been doing this a long time and have never seen anything THIS extreme before.
What'd I do?
EDIT: I just reread that and it seems incoherent.
- Newly exFAT formatted 14t drive. 12.7t available on partition.
- Started a 1.6T copy off the lan.
- At 1.1T it died. The disc was full.
- Que?
