Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mlocate
Every time updatedb.mlocate is running its scheduled task, it occupies hard
disk and its bandwith
so user space aplications become slow and unresponsive.
Every time it runs i am mostly unable to do normal work on my machine an i need
to wait
couple of minutes, doing nothing until that updatedb.mlocate thing is done.
I think that this is user-unfriendly behavior of updatedb.mlocate and I think
that
it should run with some kind of lower priority to dissk, not disturbing user
experience
and nor destroying Ubuntu usability for those few minutes.
I even switched time when that update runs , according to irc channel support,
and it still bugs me and destroy usability when i use computer at that time.
Current behavior: updatedb.mlocate occupies whole disk bandwith when it is run
on scheduled time,
not allowing user space applications to run and turn system in unusable state
during that run.
Crucial user-space actions are affected during its run.
Wated behavior: updatedb.mlocate should run at lower priority at disk usage to
avoid
blocking Ubuntu computer for the time it runs.
I run Xubuntu Hardy amd64 8.04.2/LTS
