    Both of these suggestions only sort, by age, at the directory-level.
    This file-system has ~2000 directories in it. I need to find the oldest
    file in the entire file-system.

    ls -Rrlt /fs | head

     

    works really fast.

            Hi *

             

            I am trying to trouble-shoot a problem with cache-corruption on
    an imaging system. It would be very helpful if I could locate the
    oldest file (modified or created) in that cache. Does anyone know of a
    script that would do this? The cache is about 35GB in size and the
    average file size is ~ 100K.

             

            The corruption is definitely application-related. We would just
    like to pinpoint the point in time that it began in order to discover
    the root cause.

             

            TIA

             

            David Taylor
