Hi,
I have come accross what seems to be a bug with the ls command. It only
happens in directories over a few thousand entries.
For example, the directory I am testing has roughly 7,000 files. We
tried using:
ls *_*
This produces a failure, [Too Many Arguments].
These all work fine:
ls
ls -altr
ls -1
I tried other commands like find, tail, and grep. All work fine.
find . -name "*_*" -exec ls -l {} \;
tail *_*
grep "DATA ERROR" *_*
BTW, the *_* produces ~4,300 files out of 7,000.
Not sure if others have seen this type of failure.
Regards,
Rich Jones
