I have the inverse problem, i.e. locate will find files in the root filesystem but not in my /home. My config is: $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.service [Unit] Description=Update a database for mlocate [Service] ExecStart=/usr/libexec/mlocate-run-updatedb Nice=19 IOSchedulingClass=2 IOSchedulingPriority=7 PrivateTmp=true PrivateDevices=true PrivateNetwork=true ProtectSystem=true which I think is just the default as I've never changed it. This has been going on for quite some time (at least since F33 if not before) though I've never really looked into it. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
