 |
|
Hi Guys
How would one get locate to work with Autofs ? Locate (updatedb) searches local hard drives. I have ONLY proc in PRUNEFS. If I say updatedb -U /mnt/auto/nfs-drive/home then it does a search but not with /mnt/auto/nfs-drive
thanks.
regards

what happens if you do
| Code: | | cd /mnt/auto/nfs-drive/home; updatedb -U /mnt/auto/nfs-drive/home |

Thanks for the reply
That works.
cd /mnt/auto/; updatedb -U /mnt/auto/
Also works but only for the 1 share the active one.

I'm not sure how you have cron setup, but it is common to have it execute all /etc/cron.daily/* and slocate installs an update there. You want to change that situation because their update won't have your nfs stuff.

Cron?
I am trying updatedb -v on the command line in a root-shell using kde and konsole. BTW logging in as root and on the command line no-X, does the same. Locate works without autofs, I have removed the nfs-shares from fstab. I tried finding some info about autofs and fstab but without success.
