Your example, below, does not need to access the file's inode for more
information, hence no error. You would get a similar 'file not found'
error if you used any of the time tests (-?time), file size tests
(-size), tests of the inode number (-inum), and so on. Whatever test
you use, it must require a stat() call to get additional information
about the file from its inode.

(this is a guess, I'm not familiar with the code) reads the full

been closed, it no longer exists and can't be stat'd, causing the error.
Very likely it is so. Thank you all. Why was I confused of this
particular error message? Because the "-group" is the only known (for
me) switch that cases find to error that way. For example
sudo find /proc -name foo -print
doesn't error.
