I can't be doing this right ... I removed /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db, the ran updatebd: # time -p updatedb real 113.22 user 0.62 sys 8.00 Then removed it again and run it again: # time updatedb real 0m1.063s user 0m0.162s sys 0m0.896s Why is the second time so much faster? The size of the derived db was the same on both occasions. -- Regards, Mick
