Package: locate Version: 4.6.0+git+20160703-2 Severity: important Hi,
I'm using the zfs snapshots to get a sort of backup. Each snapshot is a big as the original FS is. So if we have 10 snapshots, updatedb.findutils will takes 10 times longer. I do think that snapshot *in general* should not read by locate. In my case, I've added to /etc/updatedb.findutils.cron.local PRUNEPATHS="$PRUNEPATHS /home/briner/.zfs" Could be also a good idea, to minimize the work, to at least provide an commented updatedb.findutils.cron.local which says in it the option that could be added.
