Created attachment 461644 [details] Exclude ccache and squid cache directories Description of problem: The ccache and squid applications generate a large number of data files with encoded names. Because these names are not meaningful to humans, it is pointless to swell the mlocate database with data that won't be used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mlocate-0.23.1-1.fc14.1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: See attached patch.
Thanks for your report. The default configuration already includes /var/cache/ccache and /var/spool/squid in PRUNEPATHS in /etc/updatedb.conf. Is this not working or not sufficient?
Oops! I didn't realize there were exclusions in /etc/updatedb.conf. I was just looking at the cron job. Sorry to bother you.
