Sign up ×  On Ubuntu, is there any way to search for files on
multiple hard disk partitions at once? I'd like to search the
contents of all of my hard disk partitions at the same time,
including my Windows partition and my Ubuntu partition.

are mounted somewhere (most likely under /media or otherwise
under /mnt) so if you use find from command line at root level
(/) or navigate to root level in Nautilus it will include your
USB discs if they are mounted.  Linux can read NTFS so if you
mounted the disc (example: mount -tntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt) it will
also search that disc.  The online manpage for find you can find
here.  share|improve this answer  You can execute command 'find'
in differnet terminal windows at the same time and giving
location of each partition to each different find command.  see
man find for details.  share|improve this answer Do you mean
that I should simply type the command separately into 3
different terminal windows, instead of
