Thanks for the heads-up!

Yes, this is a real bug!

I will look into the best solution and let you know as soon as possible. It’s quite complex if we want to maintain speed with very large directories.

Just a thought, that directory is mostly symlinks would that make a difference as the error shows

follow_symlinks=false

maybe I could test it with follow_symlinks=true if so how do I set that up ?

Thanks! The issue was fixed now.

You can apply the patch below to make it work:
