RFE Request by Customer.

- It is regarding disabling the by default indexing feature of updatedb.

- In the /etc/updatedb.conf we have a parameter "PRUNEFS=" in which we define the filesystems and subfilesystems(fuse.sshfs, here referring sshfs as subfilesystem) on which we want to disable the indexing of updated, if I am not wrong.

- Customer wants to disable indexing on all the subfilesystems for by default, for now customer has to manually mention that subfilesystem in the "PRUNEFS=", for the instance: fuse.sshfs or fuse.gvfs.

- Customer has pointed our an upstream patch for this: https://fedorahosted.org/mlocate/ticket/34

I asked for the business justification from the custpomer and below is his response on that:

Thanks Madhur.  The business justification is that currently, nearly all
fuse filesystems use a filesystem subtype to indicate what particular type
of filesystem they are.  This is an extremely useful feature.  However, it
also breaks the filesystem detection logic in updatedb because updatedb
looks for the exact strings in PRUNEFS.  This makes the PRUNEFS=fuse
setting in updatedb counter-intuitive and useless.

Making the change would allow updatedb to work as expected out of the box
without needing further tweaking by administrators.  This eliminates the
debugging needed when presented by mysterious filesystem traffic, which
originates from updatedb, saving the organization money in terms of
administrator time and lost productivity due to over-burndened
filesystems.
