I keep getting the following when I do a find on any file on my system:

find: . changed during execution of find

I do not know what to do to fix this has any one else had the same problem??

Probably there are temporary files and directories which vanish while searching.

You could exclude '/tmp' and '/proc' and '/sys' ... from the search.

Does it cause trouble, or only unfine output? In the second case you could put the errorstream to /dev/null:

find ... 2>/dev/null
