I changed the /etc/cron.daily/slocate like follows: #! /bin/sh IONICE_CLASS=3 #2= Best effort 1 = Idle , 3 = idle IONICE_PRIORITY=7 #0 (high)-7 (low) NICE_PRIORITY=19 #10 (default) - 19 (low) if [ -x /usr/bin/slocate ] then if [ -f /etc/updatedb.conf ] then ionice -c $IONICE_CLASS nice -n $NICE_PRIORITY /usr/bin/updatedb else ionice -c $IONICE_CLASS nice -n $NICE_PRIORITY /usr/bin/updatedb -f proc fi chown root.slocate /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db fi
