Can anyone tell me if they have experienced long waits while trying to list a directory with a huge amount of files in it? One of our servers that is running on RHEL 4, has a directory that contains over 2 millions files in it and growing. The files are all small files in size but there are a lot of them due to the application that runs on this server. I have tried to do an "ls" and "ls -l" command inside of that directory but it just seems to run for a long time with not output, I am assuming that if I leave it running long enough it will eventually list them all. I was just wondering if anyone has seen this before or have a better way of getting a listing of all the files inside a directory like that.
