== Problem Summary ==
It mounts without issue and accurately depicts 10.9 TB free of 16.3 TB in both Ext2Fsd and any file manager, but once I try to open it in a file manager, it says, "This folder is empty." In command prompt, dir returns "FIle Not Found."

== Setup ==
OS: Windows 10
Ext2Fsd v0.66

Hardware: LSI 9266-8i MegaRAID + three 6 TB HGST Deskstar NAS in RAID0.
└> This is true hardware RAID0 running on a PCIe attached RAID controller, not software or fake RAID, so I don't see why it would matter that it's RAID. Still, Ext2Fsd recognizes that it is RAID, and for some reason it's the only ext4 partition that doesn't work. Is there a volume size limit for Ext2Fsd?

Partition: ext4 filesystem in single 16.4 TiB partition GPT table.
└> I do not use LVM, encryption, or anything special. I created the GPT partition table using fdisk with defaults and formatted the partition using mkfs.ext4, just like all of my other storage devices.

== Troubleshooting Attempted ==

  • DefineDosDevice
  • MountMgr
  • Session Manager
  • Made system and hidden files visible in explorer settings.
  • As both normal user and administrator, accessed from each of explorer, XYplorer, Command Prompt, and PowerShell.
  • Verified the data is accessible in Linux.
  • Verified that my other PCIe attached ext4 filesystem works with Ext2Fsd (Samsung 950 Pro).
  • Verified the RAID is functioning in both StorCLI and MSM (LSI tools) from within both Linux and Windows. Status is reported in each case as "Optimal."
  • Reinstalled both Windows and Ext2Fsd from scratch.

== Current Properties ==
Bus: RAID
Type: RAW -- Other ext4 partitions are identified as RAW and they work fine.
Media: Fixed
Status: Online,GPT,codepage:utf8,Readonly
