Details:
We have a cron job that is used to clean cache directories. There's a log
going on in that directory, especially files getting moved from temporary
names to their final names after they have been written completely. We have
noticed that the find that is supplied with Centos7 (version 4.5.11) as well
as a find 4.5.14 built from unmodified source frequently prints "No such file
or directory" errors for the initial filenames of the temporary files, despite
the fact that we have specified -ignore_readdir_race, e.g.:
/usr/bin/find: ‘./engine/projects/portal/istmp1NYV9b’: No such file or
directory
This does not happen with a find 4.4.2 compiled from source. A trivial find in
the "busy" directory is sufficient to triffer the error message almost 100% of
the time:
find . -ignore_readdir_race > /dev/null
