Thanks for your report. Running (updatedb) over the network is very inefficient, and excluding all nodev filesystems is a simple way to exclude all network file systems. mlocate should support network filesystems better in the future; this is tracked as bug #221756. IMHO, there should be a mean to include (still) the excluded network filesystem. /etc/updatedb.conf seems to be the appropriate place. |
Description of problem: The daily cron job mlocate.cron excludes nfs and nfs4 mounts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mlocate-0.18-1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run updatedb from the daily cron job (or run mlocate.cron directly) 2. 3. Actual results: nfs mounts are excluded. Expected results: nfs mounts should be included if not excluded in updatedb.conf Additional info: The option of excluding nfs mounts should be transparent to the user and should therefore be in /etc/updatedb.conf, where the user expects to find it. Adding "|grep -v nfs" as follows to the second line of mlocate.cron removes the exclusion of nfs mounts. nodevs=$(< /proc/filesystems awk '$1 == "nodev" { print $2 }'|grep -v nfs) But, IMHO, this whole line should be deleted, or moved to updatedb.conf.
