Orthogonal to that, I'm always surprise by how fast Linux's updatedb is. I don't know if it is due to file system differences or some fundamental differences (incremental updates?), but updatedb on Linux usually takes 1-3 seconds, while on FreeBSD it is 10-120 seconds. > commit fb03b777daf2c69bb9612902e38fdb25b256be72 > Author: Eitan Adler <lists@eitanadler.com> > Date: Mon Nov 12 22:05:55 2012 -0500 >=20 > Give users a hint when their locate database is too small. >=20 > Reviwed by: ??? > Approved by: ??? > MFC after: 3 weeks >=20 > diff --git a/usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c b/usr.bin/locate/locate/loc= ate.c > index b0faefb..f0c8c37 100644 > --- a/usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c > +++ b/usr.bin/locate/locate/locate.c > @@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ search_mmap(db, s) > err(1, "`%s'", db); > len =3D sb.st_size; > if (len < (2*NBG)) > - errx(1, "database too small: %s", db); > + errx(1, "database too small: %s\nTry running > /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate", db); >=20 > if ((p =3D mmap((caddr_t)0, (size_t)len, > PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, >=20 >=20 --------------enig09F4CC78D9BDE9AE0890B4B4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlCk1XsACgkQ/QjVBj3/HSy1zACglc4uBDxpT+44uR0cDg7BVXSG JNIAoJkfXsC84LutQ3rnoH/2OlrjYgoY =5YYu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig09F4CC78D9BDE9AE0890B4B4--
