RE: /usr/bin/find: . changed during execution of /usr/bin/find


Partition is NTFS. 

But if my memory is correct I had the same problem at home, on a FAT32
partition, which I managed to overcome somehow, by tweaking something in the
updatedb script. I think... I think it was updatedb. I'll have to get back
home and doublecheck tonight.

Duh.  I mean, yeah, I was hinting.  You want to maintain findutils?

I see the code in findutils which exhibits the error but I don't see why
it's happening.  It seems to be triggered when inode or dev changes when
a directory is stat'ed and then stat'ed again later, which doesn't make
much sense.  They should be constant.  Or maybe they aren't on an ntfs
partition?  What partition are you seeing this on?
