similar to: fstype=auto breaks updatedb

We have seen at a number of deployments, users experiencing slowness of GlusterFS over a period of time (as the volume usage grows). Some times it happens once in a day. This is due to updatedb cron job script that wakes up once in a day to index all the files it can find. It is configured by default to ignore network file systems such as NFS and lustre. Please add fuse.glusterfs to the list.

Hi, using ocfs-2.4.9-e-smp-1.0.12-1 on Redhat 3 U4 Trying to copy files from an ocfs volume to an ext3 volume is very very slow - talking a couple of minutes for a 100Mb file. same happens if I use o-direct or not, dd exhibits the same behaviour ocfs is in the updatedb.conf and both filesystems are in the PRUNEPATHS line in the same file (a reboot was done after the changes were made just to

I was just wondering if there are special tricks people do that compile A LOT on centos? Do RAM disks help or something else I dont about that minimizes your compile time? I presently have and AMD x2 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Just curious if I can reduce any more time out of my compiles. Jerry

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

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,

Is it possible to tell it not to waste CPU and I/O updating directories that contain "Maildir"? If so how? Matt

[Mod: Headers modified -- alex] If this is already known, my apologies. It seemed very strange that this worked, so I thought it would be mentionable. On many linux systems(Redhat imparticularly) updatedb is run nightly around 1:00. When it sorts the files that find gets, it creats a few files in /tmp called sort0<pid>000{1,2,etc}. Each is around 512k. The first file is created and filled,

Just to follow this up, the mlocate database update started working automatically

Hi guys, Is there any way to mount an ext3 fs that is on ro media? I get an error: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. EXT3-fs: write access unavailable, cannot proceed. Specifically this is with an LVM snapshot.

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 ?

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

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 have a global data-frame in my R script. At some point in my script, I want to update certain columns of this data-frame by calling in an update function. The function looks like this: # get events data. This populates a global event data frame in the R-script events <- getEvents(con, eventsFilePath) # events has columns eventid, timeStamp, isSynchronized, timeDiff; with millions of

hello, i am a newbie to this list and i don't know if this has been posted before (if so, plzz accept my apologies) i just noticed a nice mini-howto on ext2-ext3 conversion at http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/index.html i think that maybe a link can be added to this after the download section... cheers Sayamindu *********************************************************************

Hello, I am having a serious problem with clients that are connecting to our Mandrake 8.1 server that is using the Samba 2.2.2 RPM. After a few days of having the computers on they will start to take up 200M of ram as reported by top. I don't have this problem with any of the other clients, Win2k, ME, 98 or 95. Is there a setting I need to change on the client side? The only way to

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
