Okay. I ran the command, and it spent maybe twenty minutes outputting 
thousands of lines that look like this:

find: Symbolic link 
`/sys/block/sdf/device/driver/2:0:0:0/scsi_generic:sg1/subsystem/sg2/device/scsi_disk:6:0:0:0/subsystem/6:0:0:2/device/scsi_device:6:0:0:2/subsystem/0:0:0:0/device/bus/devices/6:0:0:1/generic/subsystem' 
is part of a loop in the directory hierarchy; we have already visited 
the directory to which it points.

Does that help shed any light on what's going on?
