find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]

Thank you to everyone for all your help! Something must have 'puked' during
my nightly cvsup of the ports tree. Every directory under /usr/ports had a

find / -mtime 6 -ls -o -ctime 6 -ls
(As today is 31st October which is 6 days after 25th. You may need to
widen your search a little with a seperate search with 7 as the paramter
as 6 may not catch files that were created
On October 25, my /usr partition lost nearly 50% of it's available space.
This disk hasn't had any significant size changes since I built the system
