find crosses partition/filesystem boundries just fine, on both a 5.1 and
6.0 system - even nfs mounted drives and smbmounted drives :)

I thank all of you for your response.
It turns out that my example file is in /usr/bin, which is in a different

found this by trial and error.
Both command lines
a.) find /usr -iname "j*" -xdev -print; and
b.) find /usr
