Good morning,
We have a problem with running updatedb on AIX filling up either /var or /tmp. This seems to come from sort generating temporary files, but it does not appear to be a problem on Linux. I have scrutinised sort but cannot explain the difference in it's default option form. However, I tried rectifying the issues by using prunefs, then prunepaths, neither which seems to work on AIX. The man page mentions /etc/mtab, which doesn't exist on AIX, so that could explain prunefs not working. -- Regards, Henrik Morsing AIXPERTS Consultancy ltd.
