[...] Hello, This is kind of documented behavior, find does not care about mountpoints, it cares about filesystems/devices. The bind mounted stuff still lifes on the same device according to stat. | -- Option: -xdev | -- Option: -mount | Don't descend directories on other filesystems. These options are | synonyms. This is also the way POSIX/SUSv2 specifies it: | -xdev | The primary shall always evaluate as true; it shall cause find not | to continue descending past directories that have a different | device ID ( st_dev, see the stat() function defined in the System | Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001). If any -xdev primary | is specified, it shall apply to the entire expression even if the | -xdev primary would not normally be evaluated. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
