I think the problem has been around for a while, but I had had no time to figure out why locate database seemed to be empty. >Description: Symtom is that locate update does not include all files in the database, because the find terminates early. >How-To-Repeat: On one of my hosts this will terminate when run as nobody: find -s / \! \( -fstype ufs \) -prune -or -path /tmp -prune -or -path /usr/tmp -prune -or -path /var/tmp -prune -or -print ... /xx/sorted/2001/12/13/image_2001_1213_142409_01.jpg /xx/sorted/2001/12/13/image_2001_1213_142418_01.jpg /xx/sorted/2001/12/13/imagfind: fts_read: Permission denied e_2001_1213_142430_01.jpg /xx/sorted/2001/12/13/image_2001_1213_142436_01.jpg /xx/sorted/2001/12/14 /xx/sorted/2001/12/14/image_2001_1214_050908_01.jpg /xx/sorted/2001/12/14/image_2001_1214_050910_01.jpg /xx/sorted/2001/12/14/image_2001_1214_050923_01.jpg The command is what locate.updatedb uses. I found this when trying to figure out why locate database did not contain some of the files which certainly were there. >Fix: If -s is left out, find completes. Thus, workaround for locate.updatedb problem is replacing -s with "| sort" after find, but that is not particularly efficient. Find should not consider permission denied a fatal error. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
