I just found out something strange. Try it out for yourselves. Here goes. Search for any directories under /boot:
# find /boot/ -type d /boot/ /boot/grub /boot/lost+found
So far so good. Now execute a detailed listing on the results:
# find /boot/ -type d -exec ls -l {} ;
...
Why does 'find' suddenly list everything... and not just the directories?
Nothing strange here. What do you expect from # ls -l /boot/ Right, you'll see the contents of the directory /boot.
You might be looking for # find /boot/ -type d -exec ls -ld {} ;
