This is 1.0-File-System-Circularity in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 04-Oct-1989 22:17:21 From: Unknown Subject: 1.0 File System Circularity I don't know if this is of concern to anyone else but there is a file system circularity in the 1.0 release, ie: /private/tftpboot/private/tftpboot@ -> / Thus if you try to walk the entire file system (cleaning up those darn .places files, for example) you'll walk in circles. Or am I missing the point? - Christopher >From: brsmith@umn-cs.CS.UMN.EDU (Brian R. Smith)

Or am I missing the point? Ah, but "find" doesn't traverse symbolic links, so it doesn't matter all that much (If you use find to walk the file system, that is.).
