Yes, unedited. I did some more experimentation, and it appears that find gets confused on ntfs if the path contains a space. This does not happen on the native filesystem (ffs), even if the path contains a space. Here is another example: ------------------------------------------------ OpenBSD_45$ df -h /mnt/m0 Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0i 19.5G 18.1G 1.4G 93% /mnt/m0 OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0 OpenBSD_45$ cd Intel/ OpenBSD_45$ ls Logs OpenBSD_45$ cd Logs/ OpenBSD_45$ ls IntelGFX.log OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0/Intel/Logs OpenBSD_45$ cd ../../ OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name "Intel*.log" ./Intel/Logs/IntelGFX.log OpenBSD_45$ cd Program\ Files/Java/ OpenBSD_45$ ls j2re1.4.2_04 jre1.6.0_07 jre6 OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0/Program Files/Java OpenBSD_45$ cd ../ OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ cd Java/ OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 ./jre6 OpenBSD_45$ cd ../ OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0/Program Files OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ cd Java/ OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 ./jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 ./jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 ./jre6 OpenBSD_45$ cd ../ OpenBSD_45$ pwd /mnt/m0/Program Files OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ find . -name jre6 OpenBSD_45$ -------------------------------------------------------- -Amarendra
