Yes, I considered this. In fact, if there is consensus that FAT should
be excluded, I'd add another category to the configuration parameters
of the locate.updatedb script. Currently there is:
$SEARCHPATHS (start points for the directory scan)
$PRUNEPATHS (sub-trees to exclude from scanning)
$FILESYSTEMS (file system types to include)
and we could add:
$PRUNEFS (file system types to exclude)
with the latter overriding $FILESYSTEMS ...
As you may know, the new default for $FILESYSTEMS is all local,
non-synthetic, non-loopback, principally writable file system types
(which include msdosfs). The $PRUNEFS could be used to drop a few
that could be scanned, but where it is still not desirable.
