Not clear what you are trying to achieve.

Which directories do you want to search for big files? (Full pathname please).

Or.

Which directories do you not want to search for big files? (Full pathname please).



Maybe by "expect" you actually mean "except". Please check the wording of your post with someone with good English.

All disks already mount root filesystem.So when i search files , all disks scan in my search.But i want to search only root file system.( so /dev/sda1)

I am not sure of your request , but if the requirement is to only search for files under / & not any other mounted FS on / then

find / -mount -name filename ( please check syntax, mount skips files on other FS)

should do the job.


Post if it works

Further to mpics66 . In many editions of "find" the "-mount" parameter is now called "-xdev. It confines the search to the one filesystem.

thanks a lot..
-mount is usefull
I already successfull from other way

Code:
# find -path './oracle' -prune -o -path './log_TAHSILAT' -prune -o -path './log2_TAHSILAT' -prune -o -path './data_TAHSILAT' -prune
-o -path './data2_TAHSILAT' -prune -o -path './arc_TAHSILAT' -prune -o -path './arc2_TAHSILAT' -prune -o -path './quorum' -prune
-o -path './log_ESKI' -prune -o -path './log2_ESKI' -prune -o -path './data_ESKI' -prune -o -path './data2_ESKI' -prune -o -path './data3_ESKI' -prune
-o -path './data4_ESKI' -prune -o -path './data5_ESKI' -prune -o -path './data6_ESKI' -prune -o -path './data7_ESKI' -prune -o -path './data8_ESKI' -prune
-o -path './arc_ESKI' -prune -o -path './arc2_ESKI' -prune -o -path './arc_ESKI_ESKI' -prune -o -size +10000k -exec ls -lh {} \;
