similar to: updatedb taking too long

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

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

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

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,

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

Hello, I run a CentOS 6 machine with samba, serving approx. 150 Windows users with samba running as an NT-like PDC. After today's samba update (samba-3.6.23-30.el6_7.x86_64 etc.), nobody can log in. They all get the "Trust relationship failed" error message. If I downgrade: yum downgrade samba-common samba-winbind samba-winbind-clients samba-client samba samba-doc

Hallo, I m using a script to install docker after a reboot. The script is starting and working. The problem: yum install doesn't work running the script via cron allthough yum remove works. Starting the script manual works fine . Has anyone a hint for me? Thanks Ralf xxx SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root # For details see man 4 crontabs # Example of job

I had exactly the same problem. Your workaround fixed me too. With the new samba packages my samba\logs are full of errors. If I temporarily disconnected the PC client NIC cable, and logged into the domain using cached credentials, then I could get past the problem. But, you helped me greatly with this posting. I wasted hours checking Windows updates - useless. We still need the new

Hello, I've been running Fedora on my Lenovo X61s laptop for many (Fedora) generations. Fedora 15, however, was not my cup of tea, so I've decided to wipe out Fedora, and do a clean install of CentOS 6 (x86_64). Everything works OK, except that the laptop does not suspend when I close the lid. I've checked the settings in "Power Management", and it is set to suspend when

[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,

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

Hello, We use Norton Ghost, running in a PXE booted DOS, to handle Windows XP images. The images are stored on a samba share on our CentOS 6 server. This has worked without any problems for years. After kernel 2.6.32-279* it has stopped working. The symptom is that if I boot in DOS, and do: net use x: \\myserver\ghostimages dir x: I get an infinite loop where the first file name is listed

Hello, I have made a bootable CD (with revisor) of CentOS 6. The CD boots and starts a game automatically (for an exhibition). I have one problem: The default sound settings are not correct. After the machine is booted, I have to open gnome-volume-control, select "Hardware", and select "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output" under "Profile". How can I set this up

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.
