Folks, I saw "find" behaving inconsistently while finding files on an ntfs partition. It was unable to find files ending in .dat, but then later on it did find those. C drive has been mounted on /mnt/m0, and the other partition has Windows XP. Details below:
------------------------------------------- OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0/Program Files/Norton Internet Security OpenBSD_45$ ls Branding Engine MUI isolate.ini OpenBSD_45$ cd MUI OpenBSD_45$ ls 16.1.0.33 fallback.dat langver.map maplngid.dat OpenBSD_45$ find . -name "*.dat" ./fallback.dat ./maplngid.dat OpenBSD_45$ cd ../ OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0/Program Files/Norton Internet Security OpenBSD_45$ find . -name "*.dat" ./Branding/fallback.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/ccGEvt/Global/LM.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/ccGLog/ccGLog.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/hnData.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/Jobs/ccJobManagerSchedules.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/NCOVER.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/ncwTrstP.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/NisVer.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/NPCTray.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/nppw.dat ./Engine/16.2.0.7/service.dat ./MUI/fallback.dat ./MUI/maplngid.dat OpenBSD_45$ find . -name "*.dat" At this point, find returns no results, even though the files exist.

Thanks. -Amarendra
