... or, make it automagical by adding a rc.d script which will test the database exists (or is "too small") and start locate.updatedb as a background / detached process? Orthogonal to that, I'm always surprise by how fast Linux's updatedb is. I don't know if it is due to file system differences or some fundamental differences (incremental updates?), but updatedb on Linux usually takes 1-3 seconds, while on FreeBSD it is 10-120 seconds. > commit fb03b777daf2c69bb9612902e38fdb25b256be72 > Author: Eitan Adler <[email protected]> > Date: Mon Nov 12 22:05:55 2012 -0500 > > Give users a hint when their locate database is too small. > > Reviwed by: ??? > Approved by: ??? > MFC after: 3 weeks > > diff --git a/usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c b/usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c > index b0faefb..f0c8c37 100644 > --- a/usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c > +++ b/usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c > @@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ search_mmap(db, s) > err(1, "`%s'", db); > len = sb.st_size; > if (len < (2*NBG)) > - errx(1, "database too small: %s", db); > + errx(1, "database too small: %s\nTry running > /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate", db); > > if ((p = mmap((caddr_t)0, (size_t)len, > PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, > >
