Public bug reported: Binary package hint: slocate
When running ubuntu on vmware, using VMWare's "Shared Folders" feature, the shared folders are mounted under /mnt/hgfs. However, entry is visible in the mount table. When updatedb runs with the defaults, and scans /mnt/hgfs the guest CPU is totally taken up by vmware-guestd, and both the host and guest are very, very slow, since vmware-guestd is not particuarly efficient. I would suggest adding at least /mnt/hgfs to the default exclusion list, perhaps even /mnt (/media is there already). ** Affects: slocate (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- updatedb scans /mnt (hence /mnt/hgfs) by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/74029 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
