Find all files created by a specified user in a directory and its subdirectories
Is there a command or shell script which can be used for Finding all files created by a specified userid in a directory and its subdirectories.
Say, I want to find all such files in directory /abc as well as in all the subdirectories such as /abc/xyz or /abc/xyz/pqr aqnd so on which was created by specified user id |

This worked for me..But for some files the following error was thrown
find: <filename>: Value too large to be stored in data type What does it mean? |

As a guess - you have a filesystem that supports file specifications with more characters allowed in file + path than the value for _POSIX_PATH_MAX (256 bytes) or possibly PATH_MAX (machine dependent).
Can you show us the actual command that shows this error? |

The actual command is the one which is given above. I just substituted the directory and user id
Also when the error is thrown....the actual filename is shown....obviously....but I cant mention it here |
