I am using Linux(Ubuntu), I am trying to find the files, but it is not working properly.
I have created some files in my directory structure, for example: World/India/Maharashtra/Pune/filename.xml

When I use the find command like:

find /home/lokesh/Desktop/Testing_India2/Test/World/India/Maharashtra/ -name filename*.xml -mmin -3000

It is giving the result perfectly.

But, when I am using the same command at “World” or “India” level:

find /home/lokesh/Desktop/Testing_India2/Test/World/ -name filename*.xml -mmin -3000

it does not give any result.

I have lots of directories at “India” level as well as at “Maharashtra” level and may be some directories within “Maharashtra’s” inner directories. I have to find each file created in all directories.
And I have mounted all folders from different machine.(I mean some state from different and some from different machine.)

If someone knows how to solve this problem please reply me as soon as possible.

    Double quote your search string and -L to make it follow symbolic links:

    find -L /home/lokesh/Desktop/Testing_India2/Test/World/ -name "filename*.xml" -mmin -30000
