Best advice you've been given is to bring the system down and run fsck on the disk. If you find errors, you probably should update all of the errata available for your system, especially the kernel. 7.3 was released with a kernel that will corrupt its filesystem on SMP machines. As for the other advice: * find by itself is fine for /dev and /proc, you just normally don't want to add "-exec grep" or "|xargs grep" into the mix. * recursive symlinks won't be followed forever, the kernel will throw ELOOP after you follow too many symlinks * None of those problems should cause the system to lock up. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
