On a whim, I tried your command on my CentOS 7 (clean install) system, only these five lines turned up: find: ‘./proc/1853/task/1853/fd/5’: No such file or directory find: ‘./proc/1853/task/1853/fdinfo/5’: No such file or directory find: ‘./proc/1853/fd/6’: No such file or directory find: ‘./proc/1853/fdinfo/6’: No such file or directory find: ‘./run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied So, faring better than your discovery. There is no /proc/1853 anything. So was that a broken link pointing to there, or was it finding something from there, that's now disappeared? If I do (still as the root user): ll /run/user/1000/ ls: cannot access /run/user/1000/gvfs: Permission denied total 0 drwx------. 2 tim tim 60 May 2 21:25 dconf d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? gvfs drwx------. 2 tim tim 100 May 2 16:25 keyring drwx------. 2 tim tim 80 May 2 16:25 pulse Not sure if root oughtn't to be able to see gvfs, or that's just some weird anomaly about how virtual file systems work. Then, as myself, doing: ll /run/user/1000/ total 0 drwx------. 2 tim tim 60 May 2 21:29 dconf dr-x------. 2 tim tim 0 May 2 16:25 gvfs drwx------. 2 tim tim 100 May 2 16:25 keyring drwx------. 2 tim tim 80 May 2 16:25 pulse I thought root couldn't be stopped from viewing user's files. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.25.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 28 21:49:45 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
