sudo -i then cd /sys/ then find -D stat . -type f -exec strings --print-file-name '{}' \; > /tmp/out.txt

Asked by penalvch

Trying to debug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/834528

sudo -i

then:
cd /sys/

then:
find -D stat . -type f -exec strings --print-file-name '{}' \; > /tmp/out.txt

stops at:
debug_stats (events)

I'm not a subject matter expert on findutils. However, I am just looking for some information on:
+ Why does this query stop at debug_stats (events)? Is this a bug in findutils?

Thanks!

actionparsnip, please don't answer questions with questions. If you cannot answer my original question I will have to wait for a subject matter expert to answer it. Thanks!

Try appending " 2>&1" to the end of your command.

    find -D stat . -type f -exec strings --print-file-name {} \; >/tmp/out.txt 2>&1

-D's output is on stderr so is not going to /tmp/out.txt but to the terminal. It is unclear from your description if find hangs at that debug(...) line or whether the shell prompt appears on simply pressing Enter.

As actionparsnip says, what's your aim? You're telling us some of the actual behaviour without the desired behaviour.

Can you help with this problem?
