Hi gang
I've discovered one of my RHEL AS3 machines doesn't locate at all.
Whenever I run locate, it doesn't return anything regardless of what
I search for.
I ran slocate -u to try and rebuild the slocate.db file. It took
quite a while but it finished. The locate still didn't happen. I
even tried to specify the slocate.db in the arguments with -d and it
still returned nothing even though the slocate.db file is quite
large.
What am I missing here?
IMHO, Red Hat got this wrong... Have a look at the cron job that's
supposed to generate the catalog and you'll see how they screwed it
up.
This can't be serious!
/usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e "/"
So basically, run it except for every file system you're going to
ever attach to it (okay so I can understand that a little) and
exclude the root directory. So basically, it's going to do nothing.
Edit /etc/updatedb.conf and set DAILY_UPDATE to yes.
I didn't have a DAILY_UPDATE entry so I added it. Hopefully that's
right for AS3.
