I want to find unowned and ungrouped files. On other Linux distributions, I use



find / -user nouser
find / -group nogroup


But, the above does not work in Alpine Linux? What are the alternate commands?



I also tried



find / -nouser
find / -nogroup


This does not work as well.



Please help.

          "Alpine Linux is a security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution based on musl libc and busybox." You are using Busybox's find, which does not support the -nouser or -nogroup predicates. To use these, you need to install a real find program.
