Hi ..

Yes some people i would really like to meet face to face  but still ..

Right my /etc/updatedb.conf is as follows  
# directories to exclude from the slocate database:
PRUNEPATHS="/media /mnt /tmp /var/tmp /var/cache /var/lock /var/run /var/spool /home/pete/nas /home/pete/Movies /home/pete/Music /home/pete/nas1"

# filesystems to exclude from the slocate database:
PRUNEFS="afs auto autofs binfmt_misc cifs coda configfs cramfs debugfs
devpts devtmpfs ftpfs iso9660 mqueue ncpfs nfs nfs4 proc ramfs
securityfs shfs smbfs sshfs sysfs tmpfs udf usbfs vboxsf"

yet i get zero file finds for any file name that i know is definately
on the system in a location that IS searchable

Thanks   Pete
