Every time I use the find command as in
Code:
find / -name foo
I get 2 error messages:
Code:
find: /mnt/initfs/sys/module/nousb/parameters/: Too many open files
find: /mnt/module/nousb/parameters: Too many open files
followed by the results of the find command.
This happens with a freshly opened terminal window, after I have made myself root. If I do it as a normal user, the same 2 messages are there but they get lost in all the "permission denied" lines!

Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this?
