When you did the command, and you said "hung", can you provided if there's any errors or warnings in the messages file ? (if any)

"BY Hung" he probably means to say that find wrote anything to stdout.Thought it may have been computing in the background.

I pretty much think that find was not able to reach the leaf of a directory(i.e. a file) .
So try with maxdepth and also try the -print0(if you think that it simply hung).
