Hi Guys, i am not clear with the find command, i need to find the newest files under /, but only / not the other filesystem.

Here's a example of my Filesystems

localhost.localdomain:/# df -m
Filesystem MB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 1664.00 56.60 97% 12693 30% /
/dev/hd2 6368.00 1283.02 80% 85210 21% /usr
/dev/hd9var 1248.00 756.68 40% 8181 5% /var
/dev/hd3 544.00 524.18 4% 65 1% /tmp
/dev/hd1 1024.00 899.94 13% 543 1% /home
/proc - - - - - /proc
/dev/hd10opt 2304.00 1077.08 54% 28317 11% /opt
/dev/livedump 256.00 255.64 1% 4 1% /var/adm/ras/livedump
/dev/fslv00 384.00 321.93 17% 343 1% /root
/dev/db2v9_lv 5120.00 2316.56 55% 16739 3% /opt/IBM/db2


i'd like to find files only under "/" not /usr /var /tmp or any other filesystem.

any idea?

man find (-maxdepth 1 -newer)

"cd" into any directory you wanna search within and do

As far as I know maxdepth 1 will still search 1 level below / including all /home /tmp etc but not the entire / partition. This is not what the OP is asking. The prune option will exclude directories.

Here are some examples:

This also might help.
