Windows 10: Increase space on NAS drives (non destructive)

Hi folks

I know a load of people on these forums use some sort of LINUX on NAS systems whether dedicated or "home built" for file sharing / media serving.

A very common file system used these days is on those systems EXT4. Typically this reserves between 5% and 10% for "Super user" or root when the file system is created.

If you are simply using these drives as data drives e,g attached as external USB HDD's etc then you don't need to reserve any space for "super user" and say you have large HDD's you can reclaim a decent amount of space by setting this back to 0%.

So say the hdd is /dev/sdb

simply as root (or sudo) issue command tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb

You don't need to umount the hdd nor will you lose any data - even on RAID configurations.

Runtime Broker in build 10586.29 on PC uses 67% of CPU usage with NAS/LAN impact

Hi Arostino

I have the WD "My Cloud" nas (Linux based). Could not resolve runtime broker until I removed all NAS links in Libraries and also removing any mapped drives to the NAS. Today I added mapped drives to my other win 10 PC's folders and the runtime broker is
ok. I believe any mapped drives or libraries to non-indexed folders will cause runtime broker to misbehave. This was not the case before build 10240, so something has changed. Also if I try to re-add nas folders to libraries it will say can not link to non-indexed
folders, but currently I have forgotten how to get around that problem.
