Subject: [gentoo-user] Weird slocate behaviour - file ignored?
Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2009 12:42:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6AF8CEA7-7B7D-4B6A-818F-7DD7410013D3@stellar.eclipse.co.uk> (raw)
I was looking for a Knoppix DVD today, and came across any anomaly
whereby locate doesn't show it. It lists the CD iso in the same
directory, but not the DVD right next to it, and both files seem to be
read by the database when I run updatedb manually.
Is there anyone who can possibly explain this, please? Am I
overlooking some intentional slocate behaviour, or should I delete the
slocate database file & see if rebuilding it makes a difference? That
seems like a very Windows thing to do, but I guess it's possible the
db is damaged.
