Hi Roger,

Warnings are generally not issued because there is "no problem".

Just curious: why run find on /proc?

Maybe I'm wrong, but the syntax, "find /" means search everything from /
down to the bottom of the directory tree.  When "find" hits /proc, it
sees something it doesn't like and produces the Warning.

Using "find" on AIX 5.1 or Solaris 9 as described in my original post
does not produce any errors or warnings; maybe the GNU "find" is doing
something different.

Now, back to my question: what is the genesis of the warning and what
steps should I take to eliminate it?

I'm using Reiser filesystems; I'm not sure if they're ReiserFS or
Reiser4; is there a way to check?

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Mike



Greetings,

I'm running the following configuration:

SUSE 10 (i586)
Kernel: 2.6.13-15-default
Hardware: Dell Precision Laptop

As root, if I run "find" (searching any path and/or name), I get the
following error:

find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in
your filesystem driver.

I checked the knowledge base and found this entry:

##############

UnitedLinux 1.0 iA64 Service Pack 2 SuSE Linux Maintenance Web
(2c8caf05239362c3cab351f3f40b9d5d)
	applies to
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for IPF

fix root access to /proc/<pid>/environ

###############

Does the above service pack apply to my configuration and the "Hard link
count error"?  Does anyone have any additional information related to
the error I'm seeing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
