    Description

      A user has noticed that 'lfs find' stops as soon as it encounters an error, such as EACCES. The regular find command just notes the failure but continues on, returning a non-zero exit code at the end.

      # mkdir -p $LUSTREDIR/{dirb,dirc}
      # touch $LUSTREDIR/{dirb,dirc}/file1
      # sudo chown root:root $LUSTREDIR/dirb
      # sudo chmod 700 $LUSTREDIR/dirb
      # find $LUSTREDIR -name file1
      find: `/lustre/f1/Matthew.Ezell/testdir/dirb': Permission denied
      /lustre/f1/Matthew.Ezell/testdir/dirc/file1
      # echo $?
      1
      # lfs find $LUSTREDIR -name file1
      llapi_semantic_traverse: Failed to open '/lustre/f1/Matthew.Ezell/testdir/dirb': Permission denied (13)
      error: find failed for file1.
      # echo $?
      22
      

      I created a patch that changes the behavior to the following:

      # /tmp/usr/bin/lfs find $LUSTREDIR -name file1
      llapi_semantic_traverse: Failed to open '/lustre/f1/Matthew.Ezell/testdir/dirb': Permission denied (13)
      /lustre/f1/Matthew.Ezell/testdir/dirc/file1
      error: find failed for file1.
      # echo $?
      1
      

      If you would like, I could change my patch to return EINVAL as it previously did.
