This is a /good/ thing, as some paths shouldn't be probed in that manner, or may be a problem at /some/ times. You can change this behaviour by editing the /etc/updatedb.conf file, and add more paths, or prune more paths. So you can add removable drives to the indexing, or exclude them without having to demount them. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
