- Currently, our site uses the fast-find feature by running
- /usr/lib/find/updatedb every night out of cron on our primary
- fileserver. Recently, we have switched from having most of our disks
- mounted explicitly (in /etc/fstab) to having most of our disks moutned
- using automount. This has been done because not all of our disks
- reside on our fileserver -- typically two or three disks hang off of
- all our machines, with a dozen off our fileserver
-
- Now, however, the fast-find database built by updatedb no longer
- builds its indexes for files which are automounted on our fileserver,
- but only for the disks which are explicitly mounted (via /etc/fstab)
- on the fileserver.
-
- Does anybody have any solutions for this problem? Essentially, I
- would like for the fast-find to build its database on all the
- automounted disks.
