Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.22-1
My /etc/updatedb.conf contains (among other things):
LOCALUSER="root"
export LOCALUSER
NICE=19
export NICE
and when updatedb is run by cron from /etc/cron.daily/find, it runs at the
expected nice priority of 19. However, when updatedb runs 'find', find's nice
level is 0, not 19. Running /etc/cron.daily/find manually as root produces
the same result.
The output from running it manually and then checking the status with 'ps -eo
"%p %P %n %a"' was:
28410 4824 0 /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/find
28412 28410 19 /bin/sh /usr/bin/updatedb
28420 28412 19 /bin/sh /usr/bin/updatedb
28422 28412 19 /usr/bin/sort -z -f
28423 28412 19 /usr/lib/locate/frcode -0
28426 28420 0 /usr/bin/find / -ignore_readdir_race ( -fstype NFS -o -fstype
nfs -o -fstyp
I'm running Debian testing i386, with kernel 2.6.8, with libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22.
This bug really makes my system slow down until find finishes - it would be
really useful to have it fixed.
