get periodic to not scan a partition
hello all, I have a machine doing backups with backuppc (excellent program btw) and I have them being stored in /exports /dev/ad4s1h 57G 31G 21G60%/exports /dev/ad4s1h on /exports (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) it is now almost 6:20 am and periodic has been running since 3:01.. and it will complete in another 4 hours.. root 92866 0.6 0.1 3064 1488 ?? D 3:01AM 1:00.93 find / exports -xdev -type f ( -perm -u+x -or -perm -g+x -or -perm -o+x ) ( - perm -u+s -or -perm -g+s ) -print0 is there something I can do to get periodic to not look in /exports? I have the BackupPC 'backup folders' and symlinks to /usr/src /usr/obj and /usr/ports.

The above search is looking for setuid binaries, if you mount /exports as noexec and/or nosuid then it wont get searched. You may also need to curtail the locate search as someone already mentioned, although that's only weekly and it only searches directories that the user nobody can read. 7 hours does seem a very long time though, these searches only take a few minutes for 1.3TB on my desktop machine, and it's several years old. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The above search is looking for setuid binaries, if you mount /exports as noexec and/or nosuid then it wont get searched. I will see what happens when I do that.. as I remember it did something to break the building of world and I think port building as well.. this /exports also holds /usr/obj /usr/src and /usr/ports they are symlinks to here. Again from what I remember having nosuid and/or noexec on /usr/obj and/ or /usr/ports was a 'problem' as well.. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In that case I'd try disabling the search with daily_status_security_chksetuid_enable=no in periodic.conf, and possibly putting a modified version in /usr/local/etc/periodic/security. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
