Find command and file system types
I am using updatedb, like everyone, to keep track of the files on my linux box. The find command looks in part like this. \( -fstype nfs -o -fstype NFS -o -type d -regex $PRUNEREGEX \) -prune -o -print I want to exclude smbfs file types too, but when I put -fstype smbfs, it doesn't work. strings `which find` | grep nfs or NFS or ext2 or smbfs does not show any hits. So, had can find recognize these file types if they are not in the binary? Also, if someone can point me to a really simple discussion of find with many userful examples, I would be most appreciative.

Re: Find command and file system types
Sheez. After about an hour or more, I found the right command to use. I don't know how to interpret the chicken stratching in updatedb, though. This command seems to work fine: find /mnt/NetWork -fstype smbfs -prune -o -print This skips the samba mounted shares.

Joel If you want updatedb to skip /mnt/NetWork, invoke it as follows: # updatedb --prunepaths='/mnt/NetWork' ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
