Details:
On a Raspberry Pi B+ running Raspbian jessie, I run this command: "sudo find /
-iname 'firefox_binary.py'" to find a file I know exists. The first time I
run it, find exits without any errors, and 0 results. The second time I run
it, only seconds later, find locates the file. Here is a video documenting
the behavior: youtube.com/watch?v=qDB_50RwWa8 In addition, I opened this up
as a question at
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/265571/how-is-it-that-the-same-find-command-can-give-two-different-results?noredirect=1#comment459672_265571
and it seems to have stumped all the unix gurus on there, who recommended that
I submit a bug report. Here's the strace of the first run (fails):
