Description Ville Herva 2001-12-31 06:45:34 UTC
Description of Problem:
After I upgraded to glibc-2.2.4, slocate seized to 
work

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -q 
slocate
slocate-2.6-1(also happened with slocate-2.4-1)
rpm -q glibc  
glibc-2.2.4-
20 (also happened with glibc-2.2.4-18)

I _think_ it worked with slocate-2.4-1 + glibc-
2.2.3-1.


How Reproducible:
Always for me

Steps to 
Reproduce:
1. Run updatedb

Actual Results:
It does 
nothing

Expected Results:
Generate non-empty 
slocate.db

Additional Information:
Here's the strace:

I tried 
forcing it to use, glibc-2.2.3 - it seemed to try to do something, but then segfaulted (no 
surprise).

"updatedb -U /tmp" etc don't work either. I'm puzzled...

Comment 1 Ville Herva 2001-12-31 07:01:59 UTC
I just rechecked with my backup - using these:

rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.2.3-19.1
rpm -q 
slocate
slocate-2.4-1

it works.



Comment 2 Ville Herva 2001-12-31 07:07:14 UTC
Ummh, it ain't that. Witness:

So something extraordinary broke between 14th and 16th, 
but what on Earth could it be? I may have upgraded something, but I don't recall, 
what.

Comment 3 Ville Herva 2001-12-31 08:31:31 UTC
Ok, I found out the crucial difference.

I had changed rootfs type from ext3 to auto in 
/etc/fstab.(updatedb read mtab, not fstab, but the auto setting propagates to there frm 
fstab.)

If I change 

/dev/hdf3 / auto rw 0 0

to

/dev/hdf3 / ext3 rw 0 
0

in mtab, and rerun updatedb, it works.

And look and behold, "auto" is excluded 
by default in /etc/updatedb.conf

I'm not sure what is the default in fstab for redhat-7.2 or 
rawhide, "auto" or "ext3"? Propably "ext3"?


Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2003-01-24 22:23:45 UTC
ext3.  We haven't used auto for local filesystems.

Comment 5 Ville Herva 2003-01-25 08:12:39 UTC
So you have a (good) reason to exclude fs type auto in updatedb.conf?

Perhaps you could add this to FAQ or something? I think it was pretty nasty problem to solve from end user point of view.

Thanks.
