"ls" Does Not List all Files in a Directory
Details
When I use the console operating system's "ls"
command to list the contents of a directory, some files are not
shown. What is wrong?
Solution
If you use csh or tcsh as your shell and you use wildcard
characters (* or ?) in the filename specification, ls does not list files larger than 2GB. The workaround is
to use the bash shell - the default shell for the console operating
system - which displays these file listings correctly.
