Hello,
When I perform command "find / -name abc.txt -print" message "find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: 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." displayed.
Would someone tell me how to turn it on ?
er.. like this? find / -name abc.txt -print -noleaf ?
try $man find
I tried but no help in man page. I didn't need to do this when I am in fedora Core 3. Is the problem is caused by the yum upgrade from FC3 to FC4 ?
-noleaf Do not optimize by assuming that directories contain 2 fewer subdirectories than their hard link count. This option is needed when searching filesystems that do not follow the Unix directory-link convention, such as CD-ROM or MS-DOS filesystems or AFS volume mount points. Each directory on a normal Unix filesystem has at least 2 hard links: its name and its â entry. Additionally, its subdirectories (if any) each have a â entry linked to that directory. When find is examining a directory, after it has statted 2 fewer subdirectories than the directoryâs link count, it knows that the rest of the entries in the directory are non-directories (â files in the directory tree). If only the filesâ names need to be examined, there is no need to stat them; this gives a significant increase in search speed.
