Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51345 (project findutils): Okay, so this happens after a fresh reboot.
Thanks for the strace logs; but please compress them the next time because it was 12M+37M to download. If I got it right, then the last directory processed in the 1st run was /proc/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_exit and then ended normally while the second run continued with /proc/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances Interestingly, the 1st run didn't find any match: there was no write() system call at all. Really strange. Back to my other question: did you try with a newer version of find, either the latest release 4.6 or even a version built from the Git repository? I mean, 4.4.2 is about eight years old, and a lot has changed since then. I didn't find an obvious bug fix for this in the NEWS by a very brief look, but I don't want to spend much time riding a dead horse. Thanks & have a nice day, Berny P.S. It is probably a good idea to skip file system types like /proc and /sys, because they may contain loops and usually don't contain the information one is searching for, so I usually use the -xdev option when searching from the root directory '/'. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51345> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
