[newbie] Problems with updatedb ?

[Dominique Deleris]

Hi list.

I have launched updatedb as root, and now I have a process (slocate)
that has been running for 25 minutes, consuming 80-90 % cpu-time, and
that does not seem to come to an end.

I've cheked my /var/lib/slocate directory, and it shows :

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root            0 Jul 27 21:51 slocate.db
-rw-r-----   1 root     slocate     49410 Jul 27 21:52 slocate.db.tmp

What's happening ?

Thanks for your help.

Dominique
