>Description:
The 'basic' tools like ls/mv/cp/rm are not able to handle large amount of files:
# ls /var/db/portsnap/files | wc -l
22682
# ls /var/db/portsnap/files/*
zsh: argument list too long: ls
# mv /var/db/portsnap/files/* /tmp
zsh: argument list too long: mv
>How-To-Repeat:
These for about 22000 files and more:
ls /var/db/portsnap/files/*
mv /var/db/portsnap/files/* /tmp
>Fix:
Increase these tools limits.
