I agree, I didn't remember that the "file owner issue" excepted for the
find command typo, was related to password handling.
Your find commands are smarter regarding to the "-xdev Don't descend
directories on other filesystems" but the partitioning for FreeBSD is
completely different to Linux, so there quasi isn't a difference between
the command with and without this switch.
Did you or I already mention that a backup should be made before doing
something like this ;)?
