If I understand correct, then you are saying that the second column of the "ls"-formatted output shows a different number than the number you have been searching for with "-links N", e.g. $ find -links 5 -ls 17311045 4 drwxr-xr-x 5 berny users 4096 Dec 9 2011 ./gnulib/.git/refs 15481120 4 drwxr-xr-x 5 berny users 4096 Dec 9 2011 ./.git/refs 16913157 4 drwxr-xr-x 5 berny users 4096 Mar 27 19:57 ./find/testsuite 22825398 32 drwxr-xr-x 5 berny users 32768 Mar 27 19:56 ./tests This is the output format of "ls -dils" as mentioned in the manual. The 2nd column isn't the number of links but instead the number of 1k-blocks used for this file/directory. The number of links is in column 4. Have a nice day, Berny
