mlocate/updatedb and btrfs subvolume mounts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've just noticed that I'm having issues with finding files using
"locate" when those files are on btrfs subvolume mounts.

The issue is that updatedb cannot discern the difference between a
btrfs bind mount and btrfs subvolume [1][2]. This generally means that
if you're using btrfs subvolume mounts and updatedb at the same time,
and you want to index those subvolumes, you'll need to set
PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS to 0 or "no". And then deal with all the cruft that
causes.

>From the bug above, you can see that the RedHat dev Michal Sekletar is
out of ideas. I'm not sure if he's reached out here or not... and if
not, he might welcome some help from the folks on this list.

Regrads,
Richard
