Thanks for pointing this out! :-) Indeed, /media is explicitly mounted, rather than being an ordinary directory under /: [root@Yoda ~]# mount | grep media tmpfs on /media type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,rootcontext=system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0,seclabel,mode=755) /dev/sdb1 on /media/teraipo type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks) the external HD is mounted as ext4 on in /media/teraipo, but /media itself is mounted(???) as tmpfs, and consequently updatedb doesn't traverse it. > Look for the start up stuff that makes the mount and disable it, then > /media will just be a directory.

The relevant script is: [root@Yoda ~]# cat /lib/systemd/system/media.mount [Unit] Description=Media Directory Before=local-fs.target [Mount] What=tmpfs Where=/media Type=tmpfs Options=mode=755,nosuid,nodev,noexec It seems that this was done by design, specifically for this directory. Ok, next two questions: (1) What is the proper place to customize this configuration? I want /media to be ext4, so that it doesn't get excluded by updatedb. I know I could reconfigure the /lib/systemd/system/media.mount, but that would probably be overwritten on update or something. How are these things meant to be customized? (2) Why is /media being mounted like this? If I reconfigure it back to ext4, is anything else going to break? I think we need an expert on systemd here... ;-) Would it be a good idea to start another thread for this?
