Hello,

 I am not s= o sure that this is a bug but a limitation. I am using "du" for a disk file= listing/usage in the command:

du --all --time --h= uman-readable --apparent-size $1;
printf "Total number of files: "; &nbs= p;find $1 -type f | wc -l;

But it seems to max= imum out the file count to 38341

 So I a= m thinking that this is a limitation to the counter in "wc"?

I don't think so. You can easily check wc's counter by generating known input, e.g. as follows: $ yes | head -n80000 | wc -l 80000 $ yes | head -n2678400 | wc -l 2678400 > Just to let you know I have a script that takes a picture every > minute and stores it to a 1TB HD and deletes anything older than 31 > days. > Total file count should be near 2,678,400 files. For some random directory I find the following: $ find . -type f | wc -l 124168 I do not see the limit you observed.
