We are preparing to roll out RHEL8 (8.3) across the site, and we, too, encounter this problem. * Could you confirm, please, that the problem is still to be expected at 8.3. * It seems that RH's intended fix will be to add something like "enable mlocate-updatedb.timer" "to "/usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/90-default.preset". I can confirm that anything resembling that line seems absent from our file of that name. Could you confirm, please, that this current absence is to be expected. * Assuming that our current state (above) is correct, could you advise, please, on a reasonable workaround that will be in line with your proposed fix. I guess this will be something like us creating a file containing that "enable..." line somewhere under "/etc/systemd", but your confirmation (and even suggested recipe) of this would be useful, please. Thanks. -- David Lee -- Diamond Light Source
