Are you sure that the slocate.db.tmp is complete? I.e. that it fails before getting through all files? One way that you might be able to discover this is to manually count all files and compare: find / -print0 | wc -l and compare this to slocate -r . | wc -l One suggestion to what fails is what happens with updatedb when you have loops in your file system? I would have thought that the locate quys already have though of this though. Another suggestion is that the process is aborted due to some time limitation, but this also seems far fetched. A third suggestion is there is an error in your slocate program. Maybe you should try to download a new version? -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
