Additional to Brian Dessent's reply I want to state that creating a directory is not sufficient. updatedb searches unreliably under /cygdrive; you may get an error like "find: foo changed during execution". To avoid updatedb searching in / and in /cygdrive (and to avoid locate giving examples twice) make yourself an alias like: 'nice -n 19 updatedb --prunepaths="/cygdrive /cygdrive/c/cygwin" --localpaths="/ /cygdrive/c" 2> /dev/null' Thorsten -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
