HI Sathis,

Add -xdev so that it won't traverse into the mount points under this filesystem.

find /filesystem -xdev -type f -size 1000000000c|mailx "1 GB files" yourname@yourdomain.com

Thanks for all your contribution and Fredrick's "find" option works better.

jim's option give me bad syntax error.
Whereas Sridhar's and Chris option found files only if its size is 1GB. But I need to get list of files more than a Gig. Hence I gave 10 points to Fredrick and rest 2.

Cheers
