    Hello all,

     

    I have my iTunes media stored in a folder on an Unraid share (array not cache). iTunes reports some 300GB of music. However if I right-click Get Info on this folder I get a 4.7TB folder size. This is only in macOS, krusader docker image on Unraid for example reports correct folder size.

     

    I also used DaisyDisk macOS app to calculate the folder size, this one also reports incorrect size. Drilling down to see what takes up so much space I get the folder "Compilations" of iTunes which is 66GB appearing like 20 times adding up to all these incorrectly reported terabytes. I reckon because this folder spreads across many disks macOS gets confused somehow? That's just a guess.

     

    Anyone else having this or similar issue?

     

    Regards
