From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: I use, kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3 Symptom: the updatedb command does not complete, and the database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db is never properly build. The temporary file "slocate.db.tmp" stops growing after a while. I tried (as a reported bug) to not use the vfat partitions, but the problem remains. Note that FC2 initial version did not have this problem and updatedb worked fine until kernel 2.6.5-1.358. When I updated to kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2, slocate stopped working. Reverting to the previous Reverting to the previous 2.6.5-1.358 kernel, slocate/updatedb started to work again. That's all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): slocate-2.7-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: At completion of the command (as root), the the file: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db.tmp Actually the file should be moved to /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db Additional info: My system is mostly ext3 based file system. I had some segmenation error reported when running updatedb.
