Re: File::Find traversing a link into a mounted flash drive

in reply to File::Find traversing a link into a mounted flash drive

When running, do you get a "processing link" message for the symlink'ed filesystem? If so, you can use readlink to see if the link is to another filesystem, then call File::Find::find with the target of the link as the start point.

In that case. I would suggest that every time you enter a new directory, scan it yourself for symlinks, then call File::Find::find for each target that is on a different filesystem.	[reply]
