Description of problem:
find complains about the 'M' (megabyte) -size unit and refuses to run, although the find man page states that find now supports it.

findutils-4.1.20-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run 'find -size 10M'
2.
3.
  

Expected Results:  should have worked per man page instead of complaining about undefined/illegal unit specification.

This has already been addressed in a later version of the package (4.1.20-8) so
throwing in Modified.  Just need to get the package build into RHEL4 collection.

problem is fixed.

The latest find in the newly release RHEL4u4 (the one in at the above link) does
not work with -size 1M.

Still has findutils-4.1.20-7 ... this is not fixed.

Comment 16 Johnny Hughes 2006-08-14 17:17:26 UTC
the changelog says it is no longer on the man page ... however it is still there

 -size n[cwbkMG]
