Here the descritpion of the problem: The daily updatedb-job crashes, when the filesystem becomes too large. If this depends on the number of files or size of all files i don't know. The BackuPC-Pool becomes very soon very huge (in my case about 250GB with al huge number of files).
As there is no real advantage in taking the BackupPC-Pool-Files in the updatedb i think a solution would be to add '/var/lib/backuppc' to PRUNEPATHS in /etc/updatedb.mlocate. It' quite likely, that updatedb would crash with other Filessystems which become huge as well but i don't know. This is all what i can add to this case, if it is not enough i appologize. ** Changed in: backuppc (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- updatedb.mlocate crashes the machine, when the backupcc-pool becomes huge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300965 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
