--------------------------------------------

Hi Nigel,All,

It works when escape charecters are given in front of star or the whole 
expression under double quotes.

bin/hadoop --config /tmp/cluster/ fs -ls /\*/\*
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger 
(org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
drwxr-xr-x   - karthv supergroup          0 2009-03-09 04:28 /a/b/c
drwxr-xr-x   - karthv supergroup          0 2009-03-09 04:23 /proc/karthv/karthv

The documentatation does not mention this anywhere in hadoop FS shell 
guide(FS_Shell.html). It will be nice if it is mentioned somewhere, say in 
examples.
I will change this to a  documentation jira.
