I'm not sure how mlocate follows the kernel file syscalls and if it will slow down any file operations. I'm also concerned how it works in chroots. I might try it later.
Ok, have to say sorry here. Mixed mlocate up with rlocate :-/ Here are my experiences: old slocate [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb real 1m7.929s user 0m1.683s sys 0m2.566s [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb real 1m19.958s user 0m1.690s sys 0m2.696s new mlocate: [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb real 10m33.805s user 0m1.463s sys 0m33.304s [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb real 0m21.013s user 0m0.617s sys 0m1.333s [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb real 0m1.183s user 0m0.463s sys 0m0.417s [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb real 0m0.868s user 0m0.413s sys 0m0.443s That'really faster after the first updatedb call! So I'm fine with it. Andy
