I have a DVD-R disk on to which I have recorded a hierarchy of
directories and files.
I then put the DVD-R into a DVD drive, and change directory to the top
level of the DVD drive.
If I run "find -noleaf -type d" over this DVD-R using findutils 4.3.1-3,
it does NOT find all the files.
If I run "find -noleaf -type d" over this DVD-R using findutils
4.2.27-1, it DOES find all the files.
In the failing case, it misses out entire directories.
The directory structure on the disk is like this
builds/
20060201.1234/
(various files)
linux/
(various files)
win32/
(various files)
20060301.1245/
(various files)
linux/
(various files)
win32/
(various files)
20060401.1256/
(various files)
linux/
(various files)
win32/
(various files)
20060501.1207/
(various files)
linux/
(various files)
win32/
(various files)
In the failing case, we do not see any files from any of the four
"win32" directories.
The older version (4.2.27-1) works just fine and finds all of the files.
This find operation is part of a larger procedure which I have iterated
over many many times for months and months (probably years) without problem.
What has happened is that, following a Cygwin update, I suddenly started
to experience problems.
The problem smelled like a "find" problem, so I tried to the older
version and, lo, the problem goes away with the older version.
Regards,
Bill
