Thanks for the suggestion, somehow I overlooked this option in the man page. I did a "updatedb --debug-pruning", here goes the relevant part of the output: <quote> Checking whether filesystem `/media' is excluded: `/', type `rootfs' => type matches, dir `/' `/proc', type `proc' => type matches, dir `/proc' `/sys', type `sysfs' => type matches, dir `/sys' `/dev', type `devtmpfs' `/dev/pts', type `devpts' => type matches, dir `/dev/pts' `/dev/shm', type `tmpfs' => type matches, dir `/dev/shm' `/run', type `tmpfs' => type matches, dir `/run' `/', type `ext4' `/run', type `tmpfs' => type matches, dir `/run' `/sys/fs/selinux', type `selinuxfs' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/selinux' `/sys/fs/cgroup', type `tmpfs' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup' `/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd' `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset' `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct' `/sys/fs/cgroup/memory', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/memory' `/sys/fs/cgroup/devices', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/devices' `/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer' `/sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls' `/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio' `/sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event', type `cgroup' => type matches, dir `/sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event' `/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc', type `autofs' => type matches, dir `/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc' `/sys/kernel/security', type `securityfs' => type matches, dir `/sys/kernel/security' `/sys/kernel/debug', type `debugfs' => type matches, dir `/sys/kernel/debug' `/media', type `tmpfs' => type matches, dir `/media' ...done Skipping `/media': in prunefs </quote> I am not sure how to read this, but it appears that /media somehow matches the tmpfs, which gets excluded. So now I have three questions: (1) Why is /media considered to be tmpfs? AFAIK, it is just a directory under my root partition, which is ext4. What am I missing? (2) How do I fix this? I don't want to remove tmpfs from prunefs. Is there a way to reconfigure the /media to not be tmpfs? Or is there any way to force updatedb to traverse the contents of /media regardless of pruning rules? (3) What exactly changed here between F14 and F16? In F14 the same configuration used to work, ie. /media was not recognized as tmpfs, AFAIK.
