Network Drives only show a limited number of folders / files

Hello
I connected to a Networkdrive (Synology, 500 GB). Vista Beta2 shows me the
right size but only about 125 folders / files are shown. Where is the rest?

Thanks for help

This is probably caused by the "fast query" bug in the Samba file server
software used by your network drive. The Samba project has fixed the bug but
Synology would have to incorporate it into a firmware update for that to do
you any good. I would check with them to see if they have such an update.
