Yes, I run as root: updatedb But when run: locate consent_extraction* It only list one file: /home/fd/consent_extraction1.pdf (this is a link file) /home/fd/business/forms/consent_extraction1.pdf
It can not find: "consent_extraction.pdf" both files are in same directory ll business/forms/ total 688 ... -rw-r--r-- 1 fd fd 63032 Mar 15 08:52 consent_extraction1.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 fd fd 397649 Mar 14 20:05 consent_extraction.pdf I observe the same behaviour on my local machine and remote machine. Running "find" finds both files find . -name '*consent_extraction*' ./business/forms/consent_extraction.pdf ./business/forms/consent_extraction1.pdf ./consent_extraction1.pdf Why? -- Thelma
