I've got 200 1GB pre-sorted files. If I try to merge them with sort -m, it is obvioulsy trying to do too much work: after running for a couple minutes, it has not produced any output but it has made a 5 GB temporary file.
When the input is pre-sorted, no temporary file should be required. Output should begin immediately. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
