While searching for regular files on a mounted NTFS external drive (using Debian 12, find ver.4.9.0,)
The search is including FIFO pipes stored on the NTFS partition.

find . -type f

and when I tried: tar . -type p, it did not return any results.

I noticed this while creating a hash file of all the files on the partition (using b3sum) ;
and the program kept hanging, every time it tried to read an empty pipe…
(find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 b3sum)

Tried mknod pipe1 p on the NTFS partition: find . -type f would find it,
but find . -type p would not find the file.

find is working fine on the ext4 partitions.

find . -type f

Should have only returned a list of regular files
but also returns FIFO pipes stored on the NTFS partition.
