Description Javier Ros 2003-01-16 12:54:05 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
Im using find to search some ser of files within my file system
using the instruction:

To reproduce the problem, you can untar:

[jros@s172m203 etc]$ find ./ -type f -name '[^A-Z]*.*' -name '*' -print

It offer bad results

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce the problem, you can:

1.- untar

www.imem.unavarra.es/redhat8.0bug/caca.tgz

to a directory of your convenience

2.- cd to the etc directory

3.- type the previous instruction

You will obtain a erroneous behaviour. Compare it against the behaviou in other
redhat distribution.

I did it with redhat7.0
    

Actual Results:  Bad behaviour in redhat8.0 outputs

[jros@s172m203 etc]$ find ./ -type f -name '[^A-Z]*.*' -name '*' -print
./conf/3d_mec.conf
./xpm/3d_mec.png


Expected Results:  Diferences between 7.0, correct behaviour an 8.0 bad.

The output in 7.0 is significatively longer.

Additional info:

IMPORTANT: The problem is not in find executable, I've tested it using a working
redhat 7.0 /usr/bin/find executable.

The same problem arises.

If triyed to obtain a correct behaviour using diferent filesystems, and ald
redhat 8.0 kernels. The problem is the same.

The problem is not computer or installation related, thought I've user other
redhat 8.0 distributions and the problem reproduces.

I'm not an expert but it seems to be a KERNEL related problem.
