The FreeBSD version of find has the '-x' option that does
what you
want. Don't know what kind of 'find' darwin uses. GNU find
has a similar
option.

Hi, Roland--

That works great -- thank you!

Ok... Would you mind if I asked you the next step?

I'm now able to find all the files on the startup volume and
not any other
volumes.

But now I need to be able to also see that same criteria for
a particular
volume which is *not* the startup drive, i.e., a specific
volume which is
contained in the Volumes directory, say 'foo'. In other
words, I need to be
able to isolate particular volumes to perform the find.

I then would like to be able to have the modification date
and filesize
added to the display of the path and filename, and then sort
the results by
the mod. date in descending order.

Is there a way to do that?

All My Best,
Jeffrey

Hi, Rolland--

Ok. Stupid of me.

Find -x /volumes/foo/*

Seems to work fine. So I guess now I'm just left with the
display and
sorting questions.

All My Best,
Jeffrey
