I have a FreeBSD ZFS file server with tens of millions of files stored on it. But, the daily periodic scripts like /etc/periodic/security/110.neggrpperm and /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate take hours iterating through those folders, and I just don't need them to be scanned. I see that I can edit /etc/locate.rc to fix the behavior for /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate but I don't see a way to exclude folders from other scripts like /etc/periodic/security/110.neggrpperm from scanning them. Is there any way to prune out folders that I don't want scanned, or should I just disable those jobs? -- Tim Gustafson tjg@ucsc.edu 831-459-5354 Baskin Engineering, Room 313A
