Description of problem: Ceph is a software-defined storage project, and it stores its data in /var/lib/ceph as a big set of files. The problem is that updatedb indexes /var/lib/ceph along with everything else on the system. This /var/lib/ceph location is typically *very* large, and Ceph users are not supposed to go poking around at the files in there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mlocate-0.26-9.fc22 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount some large OSD disks under /var/lib/ceph 2. updatedb runs and indexes all of the OSDs' files Actual results: IO slows to a crawl Expected results: updatedb excludes Ceph data (add /var/lib/ceph to PRUNEPATHS) Additional info: Ceph also has a filesystem, so it would be nice to exclude the "ceph" and "fuse.ceph" filesystem types as well (via PRUNEFS). For more background information, see a thread on the ceph-users mailing list: http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2014-February/037446.html More discussion on ceph-devel: http://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg18098.html

Thanks for shipping this change! Would you mind excluding the "ceph" and "fuse.ceph" filesystem types as well, adding them to PRUNEFS?
