Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mlocate
I built a database file using updatedb. I then unmounted the drive and tried to search that file using the command sudo locate -d extwd -i *.mp3 This yielded no results. By chance I tried the exact same command later and it worked because the drive was mounted. It appears as though the -e option were being implemented. Please see this thread for reference: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1174996 I'm using Ubuntu 64-bit 9.04. version of mlocate: 0.21.1 Thank you. ** Affects: mlocate (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mlocate can't search from database file for unmounted drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382330 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
