Using FFS on Ubuntu to recover files from an external usb-drive, which is no longer readable on windows. After the depth of the 7th folder, the folder structure is okay, but files are missing. The length of the structure at that point is 118. Looks like this:
X:\1folde\2folderxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\3folderaaaaaaaaaaa\4folderbbb\4foldercccc\5folderxxxxxxxxxx\6folderxxx\7fold\
On the source i see and can open files beneath. Any clue why this is happening?
at certain folder depth files missing

Is that the actual drive letter or just a "placeholder" (as your screenshot shows D:)?X:\
According to FFS, that location is empty.
117 certainly is not an issue.
Might you have more then 1 similarly named directory trees (& you're looking at different ones with different applications)?

Yes, it is a placeholder. There maybe more directories with similarly names, but that should not have influence on the structure depth. On the source directory the 7th folder is not empty, but the log shows no files copied. Running the FFS on the linux-machine, shutdown and take the external HD back to a windows client. But on linux and windows beneath the 7th step in the folder structure, the directories are empty.
