Now this is very interesting indeed. 80,000 subdirectories is quite a
lot.. As is a grand total of more than 10,000,000 files.
Hmmm... and you see the find problem just when searching within the
structure under directoryA? I think you have found a bug, although
whether it is in find(1), the filesystem or elsewhere is not clear.
Given that 'ls -R' shows the same problem, the bug could be in fts(3).
Still, that's a testable hypothesis. Let me see if I can reproduce the
problem.
Cheers,
Matthew
