Add MVFS to file system exclusion list to prevent recursion in mlocate command
About this task
The mlocate command on Linux™ provides a form of indexed find.
Just as you should prevent find from descending
into the viewroot at /view
, you should also prevent mlocate from
doing so. You can accomplish this by issuing the mlocate command
with the -f command line option and the mvfs file system
type.
If the mlocate command is in /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron, this change is made for you during installation and logged in the installation log.
You can also edit the file /etc/updatedb.conf to add /view to the line that starts with PRUNEPATHS.
