Need help with listing file name and modified date on a huge directory
hi,

We have a huge directory that ha 5.1 Million files in it. We are trying to get the file name and modified timestamp of the most recent 3 years from this huge directory for a migration project.

However, the ls command (background process) to list the file names and timestamp is running for more than 24 hrs and it aborted after sometime.

Is there an efficient way to get the file names and modified timestamp in such huge directory in a relatively quicker time?

Appreciate any options/feedback. Thanks.
