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?!
