The argument list was limited to a modest number of files until recently. I am not seeing this in cases where I used to on the 2.6.23 kernel. There is still a limit, but it is significantly larger than it was in the past. So you might still see the problem with 2.6.23 kernels, but I wouldn't expect it to happen in typical use. > > [host]# ls -al |wc -l > 55264 > > [host]# ls -al *.db |more > -bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long > > [host]# ls -al * > -bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long > [host]# ls -al *.* > -bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
