My Debian 1.3 box has been running with no major problems for many months.
Suddenly, a few days ago, the cron job that runs find every morning
starting sending root a report saying that many directories did not exist.
For example:
find: /usr/local/maple/update: No such file or directory
find: /usr/local/maple/bin_LINUX_INTEL_UNIX: No such file or directory
find: /usr/local/netscape: No such file or directory
Everything that it cannot find is in /usr, but not everything is in
/usr/local. All these directories do exist, and there appears to be
nothing wrong with them.
If I simply issue the command "find /usr -name some.file", I get exactly
the same set of error messages. This happens whether or not I am root.
I have rebooted and I have reinstalled findutils. Neither had any effect.
I did not, to my knowledge, change anything on my system at the time this
started happening.
Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this? I don't subscribe
to this list, so I would be grateful if any replies could be e-mailed to
me as well as to the list. Thanks in advance.
