Doing a strings on the file it contains the expected data but i still get no files show up when i try locate filename even if the file is listed in the db and it Actually exists on the drive and is good
is the data up to date after updatedb? Actually, no it's not. the header of mlocate.db is tested on configuration changes, described in [1]. Likely, configuration has changed with a recent update, so your problem would possibly have been fixed right after you looked into "man mlocate.db" I am just confused to find you never having had this problem before...? cheers! mar77i [1] http://linux.die.net/man/5/mlocate.db
