Hello find /etc -size -1G

should return all files less than 1Giga byte in /etc, but return a list of empty file (size=0)

find /etc -size -2G

work fine and return all the files

This works the same on my fedora11 and my centos 5 !

Did I miss something or is it a bug ?

not sure, but: -1 strictly less than one, being an int that has got to be zero. G unit is GB.

I'm sure now, a simple test confirms this. +n : >=n, so behaves as expected -n : <n, n being an int, so that's <=n-1 which can make a big difference when you have a G behind that n.
