Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mlocate
i have two (sata) hdds, one for / and one that receives my daily backups.
my backup scripts unmount the backup partition and put the drive to standby
after backing up.
nevertheless whenever the updatedb job runs, the drives spins up.
im pretty the reason for this is one file/dir somewhere in udev, but i
did no investigate that further. i just added udev to PRUNEFS in
/etc/updatedb.conf (not checked yet if it works, but im quite sure it
does).
mlocate 0.20-2ubuntu1
on 8.10 64bit
i dont see a lot of sense adding /dev to the database, what do you think
about pruning it?
