# Creates 9000 files whose names are 255 characters long.
# With the old approach (paths passed as rsync arguments), the total argument
# size (~2.3 MB) exceeded ARG_MAX (~2 MB) and rsync failed silently.
# With the new approach (--files-from + bash for loop), there is no limit on
# the number of files.
