我们经常会通过find命令进行批量操作,如:批量删除旧文件、批量修改、基于时间的文件统计、基于文件大小的文件统计等,在这些操作当中,由于rm删除操作会导致目录结构变化,如果要通过find结合rm的操作写成脚本,就会遇到一些麻烦,本文通过一个例子为大家进行介绍。
系统环境:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 或
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
问题症状:
客户现场有一个自动化的脚本,有以下的find语句,每天运行以删除某个目录下7天以前的文件或目录,这些目录都是按时间顺序生成PostgreSQL数据库的WAL日志及其错误日志pg_log:
/bin/find /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ -mtime +7 -exec /bin/rm -rf '{}' \;
运行过程中,间歇性地出现以下错误:[root@edb ~]# /bin/find /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ -mtime +7 -exec /bin/rm -rf {} \; /bin/find: `/enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/network-scripts': No such file or directory [root@edb ~]# echo $? 1
显然,以上命令返回了错误的结果,但客户反映说,以上脚本运行后目录下7天前的数据的确备删除了。
问题分析:
进行故障重现,在另一台服务器中通过模拟数据单独运行find命令分析此问题,测试过程如下:
[root@edbnode1 ~]# date Wed Jun 18 23:08:18 CST 2014 [root@edbnode1 ~]# cp -rcp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ [root@edbnode1 ~]# cp -rcp /etc/init.d/iptables /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/
## 以上通过 cp -rcp 命令使得拷贝到目标目录的数据保持包括:建立时间、用户权根等信息,以模拟出一个旧文件及一个旧目录
[root@edbnode1 ~]# ll /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ total 16 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 9409 Oct 31 2012 iptables drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jun 18 2013 network-scripts
## 以上可以看到iptables文件是2012年建立的,network-scripts是2013年建立的,都远远超过了7天
[root@edbnode1 ~]# ll /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 9409 Oct 31 2012 /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/iptables /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/network-scripts: total 212 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 159 Jun 18 2013 ifcfg-eth0 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 203 Jun 18 2013 ifcfg-eth1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 203 Jun 18 2013 ifcfg-eth2 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 254 Jan 9 2013 ifcfg-lo lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 Jun 18 2013 ifdown -> ../../../sbin/ifdown -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 627 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-bnep -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5397 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-eth -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 781 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-ippp -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4168 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-ipv6 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 Jun 18 2013 ifdown-isdn -> ifdown-ippp -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1481 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-post -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1064 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-ppp -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 835 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-routes -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1370 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-sit -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1434 Jan 9 2013 ifdown-tunnel lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Jun 18 2013 ifup -> ../../../sbin/ifup -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 12365 Jan 9 2013 ifup-aliases -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 859 Jan 9 2013 ifup-bnep -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 10157 Jan 9 2013 ifup-eth -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 11971 Jan 9 2013 ifup-ippp -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 10401 Jan 9 2013 ifup-ipv6 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 18 2013 ifup-isdn -> ifup-ippp -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 727 Jan 9 2013 ifup-plip -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 954 Jan 9 2013 ifup-plusb -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2364 Jan 9 2013 ifup-post -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4154 Jan 9 2013 ifup-ppp -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1925 Jan 9 2013 ifup-routes -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3499 Jan 9 2013 ifup-sit -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2488 Jan 9 2013 ifup-tunnel -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3770 Jan 9 2013 ifup-wireless -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4623 Jan 9 2013 init.ipv6-global -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1125 Jan 9 2013 net.hotplug -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13079 Jan 9 2013 network-functions -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 29853 Jan 9 2013 network-functions-ipv6
## 以上可以看到network-script不是一个空的目录,当中还有文件,而且文件也都已经是7天前建立的了 
测试单独模拟执行脚本中的find + rm指令
[root@edbnode1 ~]# /bin/find /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ -mtime +7 -exec /bin/rm -rf {} \;
/bin/find: `/enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/network-scripts': No such file or directory
[root@edbnode1 ~]# echo $?
1
[root@edbnode1 ~]# ls /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/
[root@edbnode1 ~]#
可以看到find操作的确返回了错误的结果,但查看数据备份目录发现,iptables文件及network-scripts目录已经正确删除[root@edbnode1 ~]# cp -rcp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/
[root@edbnode1 ~]# cp -rcp /etc/init.d/iptables /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/
[root@edbnode1 ~]# /bin/find /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ -mtime +7 -exec /bin/ls {} \;

/enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/iptables通过以上操作我们可以看到,find命令不单查询了/enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/目录,并且遍历了所有子目录,因此支持了我们的推断
分析图解:
这个图不知让咋画
解决方案:
-maxdepth levels
    Descend at most levels (a non-negative integer) levels of directories below the command line arguments. -maxdepth 0 means only apply the tests and actions to the command line arguments. [root@edbnode1 ~]# /bin/find /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ -mtime +7 -maxdepth 1 -exec /bin/rm -rf {} \;
/bin/find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -mtime, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it).  Please specify options before other arguments.
这里意思是说:-mtime找到的信息可能会操过-maxdepth的范围,在find操作中建议-maxdepth放在所有其他参数的前面[root@edbnode1 ~]# /bin/find /enterprisedb_backup/postgresql/ -maxdepth 1 -mtime +7 -exec /bin/rm -rf {} \;解决结果【完成】
