Code:
ls -i filename

ls -i being the command to show an inode number.

To reduce confusion on -mtime:

-mtime +1 == older than one day
-mtime 1 == equal to one day old
-mtime -1 == less than one day old (<24 hours)

is standard behavior for find. methyl's point is well taken. find does not "jump into" filesystems mounted beneath the directory dirname in: find [dirname]

OS is Sun Solaris and Version is 10
None of the directories are mounted


Code:
find /export/home/ops***/test -exec ls -lad {} \;

Since post #1 the timestamp on the file "test99" has changed.
If in post #1 it was the only file in the directory the directory timestamp and the file timestamp were inconsistent which could be because the file was open for write at the time by some copy process and find didn't see it?
Worth re-testing your "find".
