So updatedb was taking too long, as in never finishing, I decided to try and find out why. However when I entered (after much googling):
nice -n -19 updatedb --findoptions="-D stat" it kept telling me the option was not found. In file C:\cygwin64\bin\updatedb I moved $FINDOPTIONS to before $SEARCHPATHS in all the lines it occurs. "$find $FINDOPTIONS $SEARCHPATHS \ now it seems to work flawlessly. Even after I took out the --prunepaths='/cygdrive' because it was looping on the drives in it. It finished before I finished this email. updatedb (GNU findutils) 4.6.0 Cygwin -x86_64 on Windows 7 -- Freeman L. Mayberry
