I’ve been running a script at work for the last 2 days that goes through a huge filesystem on our network, parsing files and spitting the results into SQL statements. Trouble is, I didn’t think there’d be that many so I outputted them all to one directory. So far I’m up to 318351 files. Each around 5k of SQL. Windows doesn’t seem happy, I just managed to make more crap out, and dir stopped working a while back. Cygwin isn’t any better - I can’t even change into the directory. As for Explorer - well it won’t even let me access the drive.

If it ever finishes I need to push the SQL into MySQL. That’s if my PC doesn’t melt beforehand. Eep.
