Dear all,
I have a directory /homes/zak in which I have a number of directories which are created on a daily basis
thus:
02-MAY-10
03-MAY-10
04-MAY-10
05-MAY-10
I want to script the clean up of these directories, so I only keep two days worth,
so for example anything over 2 days would get deleted...i.e. 02-MAY,03-MAY
I've tried using
find . -type d -mtime +1
but for some reason also includes files for 05-MAY...
any pointers greatly appreciated ...
Many thanks,
Ideally what you are doing is right ? But something else is wrong.
Kindly paste the date output, and the modification time of the directory.
this is the result
find . -type d -mtime +1

Something awful is happening here. It appears that your find command is erroring on files which are larger than 2Gb (2147483648 bytes). I have never seen this on a system which allows files larger than 2Gb, only where an old Operating System is presented with large files (>2Gb) created on a new Operating System.
What is the Operating System and version?
its Sun OS 9.....I'm hoping thats not too old????
b/w those are not output, those are errors.
so, as a temporary solution redirecting error 2>>/dev/null might help.
What is the output from:
uname -a
Is there only one computer involved here? i.e. no NFS or physical re-plugging of discs.
Might not be Solaris, some older versions of Veritas (3.x for example) limit file sizes to 2GB by default. Is this a Veritas volume and filesystem?
Solaris 10 sets maximum file size to unlimited by default.
Solaris 9 sets the maximum file size to 2GB by default.
You may check to see what options were declared when the filesystem was mounted with the following command:
# mount
Ideally, you'll want to see options like:
read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr/...
