mac os x, find all symbolic links that point to files on a different volume
- by Eddified
In my ~ dir, I have some symlinks that point to "/Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/..." and I want to find them all recursively. A look at the man page for 'find' says the '-lname' argument will search the symbolic link contents. It appears to work, but not recursively:
$ pwd
/Users/myusername
$ sudo find . -lname '/Volumes*'
$ cd Documents/
$ sudo find . -lname '/Volumes*'
./Documents on Win7
./work.rtf
What's going on? How can I make this work recursively? -- The 'find' program is supposed to always work recursively.
I checked perms, they look ok, but as you can see I used "sudo" just to be sure... no dice.
$ ls -ld Documents/
drwx------+ 14 myusername staff 476 Jan 12 16:32 Documents/
