2.5 million files?Note that * will first sort the list of files which will be less efficient than using find. Bash is also known not to handle allocation of big things very efficiently.Having 2.5 million files in a single directory is bad for a multitude of reasons.

windows folks gave me a usb drive with a single ntfs fs and told me to put all files in that that should be self explanatory
