Hello Guys!
We have about 3 millions of files in one Tru64UNIX directory.
The binary files are people pictures that in average contains 80K of general
size.
When we do a "ls -al " we're getting an "Out of memory" error message.
Does anyone knows about any kernel parameter or swap or any tuning issue
that might help to evoid this message and get the real output from the
Operating System Shell. What is the Tru64UNIX max files that can we have
in a directory ?

Thanks!
