Two problems with Cygwin and "updatedb":
1. "updatedb" terminates with
"/usr/bin/find: . changed during execution of /usr/bin/find".
This happens unless called with '--prunepaths="/cygdrive"'
("/cygdrive" is a "real" directory).
2. I'm calling "updatedb" with
'--prunepaths="/cygdrive /cygdrive/c/CDROM /cygdrive/c/FLOPPY /cygdrive/c/DATA/cygwin
/dev /proc"'
(DATA, FLOPPY and CDROM are mounted under Windows XP).
Unfortunately "updatedb" omits certain directories (/cygdrive/c/DATA
/cygdrive/c/DATA/VPOP3 /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS). So I have to say
explicitly:
'--localpaths="/ /cygdrive/c /cygdrive/c/DATA /cygdrive/c/DATA/VPOP3
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS"'
Does anyone know why "updatedb" doesn't like "/cygdrive" and why
certain directories aren't searched?!
