Bug ID: 266410
Summary: Locate database update scripts runs even it is
disabled in periodic.conf
Product: Base System
Version: 13.1-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
What is happening?
I observed several times a find command running over my ZFS data pool
and causing many read operations. I disabled updating the locate database
in periodic.conf but it seems to run nevertheless.
What do I expect to happen?
Not to run if it is disabled.
How to reproduce?
Set weekly_locate_enable to NO in /etc/periodic.conf and monitor IO
operations and the process list.
Further information
$ grep locate /etc/periodic.conf
weekly_locate_enable="NO"
