    SubjectFile Limit in Kernel?
    From
    Date
    I have a directory with 39,000 files in it, and I'm trying to use the cp
    command to copy them into another directory, and neither the cp or the
    mv command will work, they both same "argument list too long" when I
    use:

    cp -f * /usr/local/www/images

    or

    mv -f * /usr/local/www/images

    Is this a kernel limitation? If yes, how can I get around it?
    If no, anyone know a workaround? I appreciate it.
