Summary: find produces two different results for the same command Project: findutils Submitted by: None Submitted on: Thu 25 Feb 2016 07:24:54 PM UTC Category: find Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Wrong result Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Len Schulwitz Originator Email: schulw...@gmail.com Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.4.2 Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: On a Raspberry Pi B+ running Raspbian jessie, I run this command: "sudo find / -iname 'firefox_binary.py'" to find a file I know exists. The first time I run it, find exits without any errors, and 0 results. The second time I run it, only seconds later, find locates the file. Here is a video documenting the behavior: youtube.com/watch?v=qDB_50RwWa8 In addition, I opened this up as a question at http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/265571/how-is-it-that-the-same-find-command-can-give-two-different-results?noredirect=1#comment459672_265571 and it seems to have stumped all the unix gurus on there, who recommended that I submit a bug report. Here's the strace of the first run (fails): http://lenschulwitz.com/find1.txt and the strace of the second run (succeeds): http://lenschulwitz.com/find2.txt _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47261> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
