Public bug reported:
I purged and reinstalled mlocate, then I edited /etc/updatedb.conf to
remove cifs from PRUNEFS so mlocate would index files on my local
server. Then I ran updatedb and it almost completely stalled out after a
minute or three regardless of priority (I tried 'nice -n -20). It starts
out only using 2-3% of my reasonably fast 4 core CPU. After a couple of
minutes the process just goes to sleep. ksysguard reports CPU use as
'disk sleep'
The database is growing at a glacial pace.

If I put cifs back in /etc/updatedb.conf PRUNEFS the program behaves
reasonably.
Since most of the files that I want to find are on my server this
dramatically reduces the utility of mlocate for me.
It would also be great to be able to add a specific path to
updatedb.conf so mlocate would index my always-on CIFS server that is in
my /etc/fstab but not index other samba shares that happen to be mounted
at the moment, but I guess that is a different boog rep0rt.
