Package: mlocate Version: 0.26-1ubuntu1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Ceph is a software-defined storage project, and it stores its data in /var/lib/ceph as a big set of files. The problem is that updatedb indexes /var/lib/ceph along with everything else on the system. This /var/lib/ceph location is typically *very* large, and Ceph users are not supposed to go poking around at the files in there. Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount some large OSD disks under /var/lib/ceph 2. updatedb runs and indexes all of the OSDs' files Actual results: IO slows to a crawl Expected results: updatedb excludes Ceph data (add /var/lib/ceph to PRUNEPATHS) Additional info: Ceph also has a filesystem, so it would be nice to exclude the "ceph" and "fuse.ceph" filesystem types as well (via PRUNEFS).
