Re: Updatedb does not finish


I am running it now with the command line -
/usr/bin/updatedb --localpaths="/  /c" --prunepaths="/a    /proc"

According to Arun Biyani on 7/10/2006 5:23 PM:
I have been running "updatedb" via a cron job for almost 6 months now.
It is started
at 11PM & is usually done in an hour. Recently, I have been noticing
that there is a
"find" job still running when I get in, in the morning.

This looks like this thread may be relevant: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00331.html

Can you try setting PRUNEPATHS=/proc in your environment, and see if that
helps cut down the time updatedb takes by cutting down what it traverses?
