reclean.sh - line 135: Argument list too long #19
Description
reclean found no deleted documents, but returned 2142 files and directories without metadata, causing the script to crash with an argument list too long.
The few returned items I've looked for manually do not exist, moreover the script returns more "junk" than the total number of files/directories in /xochitl/
$ reclean.sh

Thanks for reporting, it is likely that reclean is no longer compatible with the latest software version. I'll take a look at it as soon as I find the time!

A bit of unearthing here but I'm having the same issue on the metada (lots of them, can't delete)
