Those two examples were enough to get my head around the syntax w/the awk man page to tweak them as necessary. I've found the culprit: lots (30, at this time) of 1.2GB files like /private/var/folders/zz/zzzivhrRnAmviuee+++++++++++/-Tmp-/termIdFile.XXXXXX which are open by mds (Spotlight), but result in a file-not-found error when trying to list/stat them. So, I just need to determine why mds is holding onto them.
