Hello michael, Wednesday, June 18, 2003, 12:49:17 PM, you textually orated:
mbwc> Thanks for the recommendation, Brian - but I'm not sure that is the case. mbwc> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on mbwc> /dev/hda1 9.8G 6.3G 3.0G 68% / mbwc> /dev/hda2 65G 46G 15G 75% /home mbwc> none 124M 0 124M 0% /dev/shm mbwc> I can also cp /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db mbwc> /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db2/3/4/5/6 etc...

Try stracing it and perhaps only do a small part of the drive by calling slocate directly... strace slocate -U /usr/share/icons -o ~/test_sl.db ...and see if A) it completes without error and B) what the output of strace is if it fails. If you don't mind spending the time, you could also just do "strace updatedb". You should only need the last ~20 lines or so of the output.
