** Summary changed: - mlocate cronjob spins up drives + /dev should not be indexed
** Description changed: Binary package hint: mlocate - i have two (sata) hdds, one for / and one that receives my daily backups. - my backup scripts unmount the backup partition and put the drive to standby after backing up. - nevertheless whenever the updatedb job runs, the drives spins up. - - im pretty the reason for this is one file/dir somewhere in udev, but i - did no investigate that further. i just added udev to PRUNEFS in - /etc/updatedb.conf (not checked yet if it works, but im quite sure it - does). - - mlocate 0.20-2ubuntu1 - on 8.10 64bit + <invalid bug report was here> but since its already created, maybe you + could comment about the following question anyway i dont see a lot of sense adding /dev to the database, what do you think - about pruning it? + about pruning it by mount type (i.e. udev)? -- /dev should not be indexed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
