I tried your "find" and it worked for me (apart from one blip). Have you tried searching for another item in "/usr/sbin" to see if it crashes out at the same point? Maybe there is something wrong with your file system - have you run "fsck" on it? My "find" for sendmail blipped with this error near the end "find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/2690: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched." but carried on. Try the "-noleaf" option with find to see if it makes a difference

There are a couple of alternatives: 1. Have you paid the fee? It's $75 to be paid via paypal. 2. Read the headers

First, #1 is my line! If you are going to use my line at least get it right. It's $75 per person on the list, for each time you send the message to the list. Second, why should anyone have to follow the directions from when they signed up? This is only for this list only... the rest of the world does things differently. Third, writing in all caps helps. it raises the fee from $75 to $100. Have a nice f*cking day! Thanks, George

First off shouting at everyone else on the list won't get you much sympathy. Try sending a _NEW_ email message to the following address: suse-linux-e-unsubscribe-reitajim=mac.com@suse.com Which is in the headers of -every- email you receive from the list server. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Those of us who've been around long enough and whose memory is good enough will remember this problem from SuSE Linux ca. 9.?. Eventually it was fixed. Are you up-to-date w.r.t. to fixes and patches for your release? If not, perhaps you'd consider upgrading. Bumps along the way notwithstanding, SuSE Linux progresses rapidly in the space of a year or two and despite the work of a major version upgrade, it's worth it every now and then. If there's no readily available or applicable source for a fixed version of find, what you need to do is avoid running it on /proc, /dev or any auto-mounted file system. If you do that, you should get proper, predictable operation.

Can I trust the results of future finds that I execute?

You can trust most programs to operate deterministically. Well, you could, up until the introduction of HyperThreading, multi-core and multi-processor systems. Now we're open to concurrency bugs that never raised their heads before on uniprocessor systems! Oh, joy!

I had the same problem with 'locate'. Reason why 'locate' was working was that the package findutils wasn't installed. Never had to install findutils in the past but with 10.1........ <sigh>

well, sigh some more. findutils does not provide locate. It is provided by findutils-locate. And, iirc, it has not been standard since .. 9.0 ?? (ie: required specific selection).

<sigh>...<sigh>...<sigh>...<sigh>... (is this enough sighing or do I go on for a bit longer?) :-) Well, I do not remember ever having to install findutils-locate and yet was able to use it a short time ago - and then after the reinstall of 10.1 it vanished. Aaaah! Just worked it out! :-) . It is part of the Experienced User selection group of packages which I normally automatically select for installation but this time omitted this group during reinstallation of 10.1. (I knew I wasn't - yet - losing my marbles.) Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1

Maybe it's been moved to a different YaST collection? I got it installed by default.

See my reply to Patrick. It's part of the packages group called Experienced User which I would normally select and install during a new install but this time, when doing a reinstall, I left this group out and so findutils-locate wasn't installed (and I had to install the rpm separately). 'Find' and 'locate' are both part of this findutils package. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
