well, my earlier shell commands to find the length of all the
files' paths were useless, but now that my young'uns are asleep, I
came up with this.
find / -type d | awk '{ a=length; print $0, a}' | sort -T . -k
2.1 -rnt ' ' -o sorted
It works fine except for dumping the files with embedded spaces to
the bottom of the list. I still find no paths longer than 200
characters, nowhere near the 1035 locate was griping about.
