Have a 4.3 server with a really weird problem: locate ONLY indexes
one [user file] partition! IOW, no binaries are indexed, nor is /usr/, /var, ..
All filesystems are ffs;
I deleted /var/db/locate.db and recreated
with /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb more than once;
locate.rc is stock:
==================
TMPDIR="/var/tmp"
FCODES="/var/db/locate.database"
SEARCHPATHS="/"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/tmp /usr/tmp"
FILESYSTEMS="ffs ufs ext2fs"
[comments pruned]
=================
The locate database seems to be normal:
Database: /var/db/locate.database
Compression: Front: 19.48%, Bigram: 65.90%, Total: 14.52%
Filenames: 218512, Characters: 14825215, Database size: 2153551
Bigram characters: 734303, Integers: 5440, 8-Bit characters: 3
=================
Trying to troubleshoot a Perl module problem, and locate is not
returning any hits except user files <g>!
Any pointers on what is 'intefering' with the process?
