time updatedb real 1m35.163s user 0m0.815s sys 0m2.454s this was the first time i ran it after installation. i had uinstalled slocate prior to this. PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/tmp /root/.ccache /media/stuff/backup/gentoo32" the last folder is my 32bit chroot. and i got arround 225 gb of data. i tried running a few qurries .. seems to have indexed everything also after this i tried deleting /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db and then running updatedb and it hardly took a second. time updatedb real 0m0.367s user 0m0.193s sys 0m0.167s weird indeed. -- - Yohan Pereira.
