Hi!
I just found a strange problem when using find on a FAT drive.
I got: "find: .\tmp changed during execution of find"
-- in bash shell --
quetschke@Baltasar /cygdrive/d
$ find .\\tmp -name *.test
find: .\tmp changed during execution of find
quetschke@Baltasar /cygdrive/d
$ find ./tmp -name *.test
./tmp/file.test
quetschke@Baltasar /cygdrive/d
$ find d:\\tmp -name *.test
d:\tmp/file.test
-- in bash shell --
One might think this is a generic problem, just don't do that, but on
NTFS it works:
-- in bash shell --
quetschke@Baltasar /
$ find .\\tmp -name *.test
.\tmp/file.test
-- in bash shell --
Is this a bug?
System: Windows XP, all installed packages were updated a few minutes
ago.
