"is thier anything i should be carefull about when i come to amending or doing various searches through the files themselves."
"Without thinking i did a search from the root this then initialiased a search right through my /mnt directory where all my servers have been mounted it would have been ok but i went away from my desk to do something and i found the computer still doing the search 20 minutes later. I have yet to find this java directory. "
When you set up symlinks make sure that you do not end up with any circular references. If you do then a search could become an infinite loop.
