[UFO Chicago] find command problem

[kannaiah at bsd.uchicago.edu]

Here is the response i got to my post on bugzilla: I could not make much sense 
of it...if you guys understand it..please explain it. 
The first part is my post on bugzilla. 
 
Thanks everyone:) 
 
----------------------------------------- 
Hello there, 
 
I am running Redhat Enterprise Linux: 
 
$uname -a 
Linux ccapps 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Jun 30 10:32:04 EDT 2006 
x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 
 
I get the find command warning as well. From reading the entries here, 
seems 
like there isnt a fix yet? 
Any more developments since the last post here in fixing this? 
 
 
Basically One of my applications could not execute the "find" command 
and quit 
with the following message: 
 
find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for .:this may be a bug in your 
filesystem driver. Automaticall turning on find's -noleaf option. 
Earlier 
results may have failed to include directories that should have been 
searched. 
 
 
---------- 
When i run the  find command independently, it gives me the warning but 
goes on 
to complete the task. 
 
 
please do suggest any solution..if there is one. 
 
thank you

Workaround as "/usr/local/bin/find", it is not bulletproof. 
 
As a temporary workaround you may store this script as your: 
/usr/local/bin/find 
Rather also type afterwards (to use the right one): hash -r 
If some application uses directly "/usr/bin/find", wrap your binary 
appropriately ("mv /usr/bin/find /usr/bin/find" and edit this wrapper 
placed as 
"/usr/bin/find" to reference "/usr/bin/find-orig" instead). 
 
If you would like a priority hotfix for RHEL, please file a new Issue 
Tracker 
request instead.
