You need to tell find what to do with files not named .gvfs:
find /users/tburns -name .gvfs -prune -o -print
Will not work. As soon as the non-owner of .gvfs does a stat on the
directory, the error will be spit out. find must "stat()" any item
it finds to handle the remainder of the predicate and POP goes the
error.
If -name is the first predicate, and you prune matches, find will not
need to stat() the directory entry:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/findtest]$ find . -print
.
./noread
find: `./noread': Permission denied
./read
./read/file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/findtest]$ find . -name noread -prune -o -print
.
./read
./read/file
Sorry, won't work for GVFS filesystem mountpoints. As soon as the
non-owner touches the inode, the error occurs. Just a couple of tests
(I'm redirecting stdout just to get rid of the stuff extraneous to the
discussion):
As owner:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -lad .gv*
dr-x------ 2 rick rick 0 2008-11-04 18:00 .gvfs
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ find . -name ".gvfs" -prune -o -print \
>/dev/null
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
As root:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rick]# find . -name ".gvfs" -prune -o -print \
>/dev/null
find: ./.gvfs: Permission denied
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rick]#
Note that test was on F9, x86_64.
