Hi list For some reason mlocate is taking a long time when I run the updatedb command. Have a look! [root at beta:~] #time updatedb real 19m48.729s user 0m0.400s sys 0m2.728s It's not a big volume by any means [root at beta:~] #df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 75G 9.1G 63G 13% / So I'm wondering what could be causing

I set this computer up with Centos 8 a few days ago. "systemctl status mlocate-updatedb.timer" says "Active (waiting)". But the mlocate database hasn't been updated since the last time I ran updatedb manually. # ls -l /var/lib/mlocate/* -rw-r-----. 1 root slocate 22944208 Feb 29 10:30 /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db What have I missed? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D

Hi all, I am new to this list and puppet. I am working at the Rutherford Appleton Lab and am part of a team that looks after several hundred servers mainly running Scientific Linux (based on RedHat). I am currently looking at puppet to be used to perform what is currently done by kickstart scripts, with these performing an on going configuration job once the systems are built. My current

This should be simple, but it's not, unless I'm forgetting something. Writing a script, an arg is a filename. So fname=$1 But I want that expanded to include the full path and filename, not just what is given as the arg on the command line. E.g., if the user's cwd is /home/joe/a/b/c/ and he specifies ../x/file-a.ext then the function/utility should transform that into the

It turns out that if you specify filesystem type `auto' in /etc/fstab, updatedb (the thing which updates your `locate' database) ceases to work. Here's the contents of my /etc/updatedb.conf: PRUNEFS="devpts NFS nfs afs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660" PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /net" export PRUNEFS export PRUNEPATHS deleting the `auto' entry

This is my question. I want to install some mods to my games, but the program files folder in wine looks empty (only IE) Where are the game folders?? Thanks.

Hi, What is the best way to deal with I/O load when running several VMs on a physical machine with local or remote storage? What I'm primarily worried about is the case when several VMs cause disk I/O at the same time. One example would be the "updatedb" cronjob of the mlocate package. If you have say 5 VMs running on a physical System with a local software raid-1 as storage and

Hi I logged in to one of my servers today and noticed that the load average is very high. After investigating the problem I found two processes in "D" stat ("uninterruptible sleep"): root 24344 0.0 0.2 1532 584 ? DN Jul21 0:01 /usr/bin/updatedb -f NFS,SMBFS,NCPFS,PROC,DEVPTS -e /tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net root 25899 0.0 0.2 1532 584 ? DN

A couple of questions. Are there any linux tools that can de-frag an ext2/3 partition? Are there any advantages to doing so if you're running hardware RAID5? Are there advantages / disadvantages if you're running LVM? === Al

I've just noticed that I'm having issues with finding files using "locate" when those files are on btrfs subvolume mounts. The issue is that updatedb cannot discern the difference between a btrfs bind mount and btrfs subvolume [1]. This generally means that if you're using btrfs subvolume mounts and updatedb at the same time, and you want to index those subvolumes,

After you do your update, done forget to do updatedb, makewhatis, ... The locate for rpmnew has a couple items of interest and the locate for rpmsave returns one that occupies 24MB of your precious disks - /var/lib/Pegasus/prev-repository*. It compresses nicely to appx. 1MB, cpio bzipped --best. Change in your rndc key too, for DNS.

Why there is a weekly script that rebuilds the locate database when: >>> WARNING >>> Executing updatedb as root. This WILL reveal all filenames >>> on your machine to all login users, which is a security risk. Is there a way to put dates on the periodic scripts report output for those who redirect the reports to files instead of mail messages? There is no easy

I'm revising some docs, and i've returned on the 'offline logon' tema. Looking at: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/PAM_Offline_Authentication and smb.conf manpage, it is clear that 'offline logon' is a pam/authentication only, does not involve NSS. Considering a 'full offline' DM client (supposing a portable), there's a 'winbind permanent nss

uptime=insecurity. Patches must be kept up these days or your uptime won't matter when your server gets compromised.
