[Bug 382330] Re: mlocate can't search from database file for unmounted drive
Yes, I have confirmed this, for Ubuntu 13.04 and mlocate 0.25.
I found that the PRUNEPATHS variable in /etc/updatedb.conf includes
/media. For me, the default mount point for a USB device with a label
(hard drive OR stick) is /media/dave/{disk label} with me as user dave.
I removed '/media' from PRUNEPATHS in /etc/updatedb.conf and now get the
proper results when searching databases for devices not currently
mounted.
The trick here will be making sure a device is not mounted to /media at
the time the cron job for updatedb runs, or find a way to run mlocate
without a check for the current existence of a path before reporting a
result. In the source for mlocate version 0.25, the implication is that
-e (check for existence) defaults to FALSE but this was not EXPLICIT in
the declaration.
The PRUNEPATHS variable is stored in the header of a .db file. The
anamoly seems to be if you specify /media/user/usbdrive as the root for
updatedb (updatedb -U /media/user/usbdrive), and /media is in PRUNEPATHS
at that time, the database is generated correctly (all files
catalogged), but subsequent searches fail if /media is in
/etc/updatedb.conf.
Again, when I removed '/media' from PRUNEPATHS in /etc/updatedb.conf, my
existing set of nineteen databases scanned from mount points
/media/dave/{disk label} is properly scanned.

Public bug reported: I am upgrading ubuntu. I Haven't used samba in quite a while and am not certain that it ever ran on this computer. I have a mixed Gnome/K install (started with kubuntu a long time ago) and have a lot of issues every time I do an automatic upgrade.
