Hi,
A find results in the following warning:
WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched.
Is this something to worry about?

I get this warning too - I've not noticed it before. I guess it's from a recent findutils update.
% ls -lid /proc
1 dr-xr-xr-x 107 root root 0 2005-02-08 08:22 /procThe number in the first column is the inode number. The third column is the number of the hard links to the inode. The slightly weird thing is I can't find any other hard links to it:
% sudo find /proc -inum 1 -xdev -ls 2> /dev/null
1 0 dr-xr-xr-x 85 root root 0 Feb 8 08:22 /procI don't think it's something to worry about - /proc isn't a real filesystem. I guess the links are something to do with processes - the number of hard links to /proc seems to constantly change.

I'm getting this problem now too, on two of my servers. Both servers have had a 2nd hard drive installed recently. One still has the 2nd hard drive and one doesn't.
I don't get the error if I run a find anywhere but the root partition.
Any ideas. I hate to just ignore it.
TIA
