You have been subscribed to a public bug:
When running find in a particular way there is an error reading the
~/.gvfs directory and find bombs.
sudo find / -name '.*something.*'
produces:
find: /home/myboxoftricks/.gvfs: Permission denied
The problem:
* doesn't happen without the sudo
* doesn't happen without the -name
* doesn't happen when ~/.gvfs isn't on the search path
so basically when .gvfs in on the search path, and you use sudo and the name
switch, find bombs.
Same problem is being reported with other distros. It seems to be a Gnome
glitch.
Not good that root's file access is denied.
