Hmm, MFT too small? A quick search showed me this (from a forum):
Note that Dell computers we received were all delivered with 50% MFT reserve. We use many large files and reducing the MFT reserve to 12.5% saved these machines from being dog slow when they ‘filled up’ quickly.
How much MFT space is needed? My rule of thumb for estimating is ‘number of files times 4k divided by total drive size’. The result is the percent of drive space needed for MFT. As you note, the actual requirement will vary… but you have to start some place!
Howsever, I suppose, others know better than me, like before, just an idea...
Best
