FIND command Locks up Redhat System

[Brice Hamilton]

Hello,   I ran into a problem yesterday with one of my production REDHAT Linux servers.  This particular server is running Oracle DB and is mainly a Database server.  I need to run the standard LINUX/UNIX 'FIND" command to locate a particular file and when I ran the command, the entire system just locked up !  Dead as a doornail.  I was wondering if anyone out there in the LINUX world has run across this problem, and if so, what did you do to correct it.  Any help is appreciated, thanks.   Brice Hamilton Sr. Systems Engineer Provider HealthNet Services Inc.
