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.
No, so basically it will store meaningful information about the local
filesystem.
Oh my. Where did that come from? It should exclude network filesystems
and things like proc but not /.
I think that's the bonehead thing Ed was talking about. So if it
runs every day with the default configuration, it will do absolutely
nothing since the -e is on the root.
Nevertheless, it's not working for me. I'm running updatedb again
with the -v flag this time to make sure I see what's happening.
