Works for me. Also fixes this old bug where mlocate pruned bind mount locations, which resulted in /home on Btrfs not being indexed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=906591 Note for laptop users, plocate-updatedb.service contains ConditionACPower=true, so if you're getting errors locating files, it might be because the initial database isn't being created because no AC power. > == User Experience == > Users should not notice the difference.

I'm definitely noticing a difference. I'm not sure it was ever correct that updatedb.conf was pruning bind mounts on Fedora. It's not the mlocate default, but it is what Fedora has been using for years (defacto default on Fedora). -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
