Hi all,
I am trying to execute the following command:
find 'path' -ls -exec cksum {} \;
As you can see this simply finds files from a given path and runs cksum on them.
My problem is this, if i have a FIFO in a directory the find tries to execute cksum on it and gets stuck.

LEARN ABOUT LINUX
mkfs
MKFS(8) System Manager's Manual MKFS(8)NAME
mkfs - build a Linux file system
SYNOPSIS
mkfs [-V] [-t fstype] [fs-options] filesys [blocks]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs is used to build a Linux file system on a device, usually a hard disk partition. filesys is either the device name (e.g. /dev/hda1,
/dev/sdb2), or a regular file that shall contain the file system. blocks is the number of blocks to be used for the file system.
The exit code returned by mkfs is 0 on success and 1 on failure.
In actuality, mkfs is simply a front-end for the various file system builders (mkfs.fstype) available under Linux. The file system-spe-
cific builder is searched for in a number of directories like perhaps /sbin, /sbin/fs, /sbin/fs.d, /etc/fs, /etc (the precise list is
defined at compile time but at least contains /sbin and /sbin/fs), and finally in the directories listed in the PATH environment variable.
Please see the file system-specific builder manual pages for further details.
OPTIONS -V Produce verbose output, including all file system-specific commands that are executed. Specifying this option more than once
inhibits execution of any file system-specific commands. This is really only useful for testing.
-t fstype
Specifies the type of file system to be built. If not specified, the default file system type (currently ext2) is used.
fs-options
File system-specific options to be passed to the real file system builder. Although not guaranteed, the following options are sup-
ported by most file system builders.
-c Check the device for bad blocks before building the file system.
-l filename
Read the bad blocks list from filename
-v Produce verbose output.
BUGS
All generic options must precede and not be combined with file system-specific options. Some file system-specific programs do not support
the -v (verbose) option, nor return meaningful exit codes. Also, some file system-specific programs do not automatically detect the device
size and require the blocks parameter to be specified.
