How to creata a second locate database for private use?
(mp3 database or so).
I have tried
$ locate -U dir_with_mp3s -o database.dtb
Searching in this database doent work
$ locate -d database.dtb somesong.mp3
gives no result.
The database exists and it looks ok, seems to be a simple
ascii format.
What am I doing wrong?
I guess its simple, isn't it!
I don't know; the standard locate program doesn't take a -U option,
and will give an error message accordingly if called the way you claim
you did. Have you installed some other version of locate?
To use the standard locate, you use the locate.updatedb(8) script, as
the locate(1) manual will tell you.
