I have primary and secondary LMS systems and I use robocopy to replicate changes from one to the other. And I realize that the issue I'm going to describe is minor compared to others I read about here. Nevertheless it is somewhat vexing and exacerbates my minor OCD tendencies.

Properties for M:\FLAC-1 on both systems is exactly the same:
Size: 2.48 TB (2,737,874,393,142 bytes)
Contains: 120,341 Files, 9,639 Folders
The other 3 directories also match each other exactly.
What would make the scanner on one system detect fewer directories/files than the other? I don't see any scanning errors in the logs. I may do a clear and scan to see if I get different results but I don't see how that would change the discovery of files.
