 |
|
rlocate doesn't seem to update...
I started at http://rlocate.sourceforge.net/ to make sure I had the write kernel compile options. I compiled, installed the module, started the daemon, did the first updatedb. It should be working (I think). However when I change files nothing happens, meaning it doesn't find the new file.
For example:
| Code: | touch testfile.txt
rlocate testfile.txt |
and I get nothing.
Any suggestions on how to debug?
2.6.16-gentoo-r9 |

Do you have done it by
| Code: | emerge rlocate
rc-update add rlocate default
/etc/init.d/rlocate start |

Yes... except I think the init script is
/etc/init.d/rlocated
Interestingly, I got it working on two other machines (~x86) and not on this one (~amd64). I did the same process on each one. |

Try a rlocate-checkpoint as root.
Look if and what files are added since the last updatedb |

gus # rlocate-checkpoint
No checkpoints found. Printing all files since last updatedb.
gus # rc-status |grep rl
rlocated [ started ] |

OK. I'll try and report back. I note that this is what happens when I try to stop the daemon.
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/rlocated stop
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Stopping rlocated ...
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 9507: No such process [ !! ]
* Removing rlocate kernel module ...

OK, now the module loads and unloads. However when I locate files it doesn't find recent changes.
Running rlocate-checkpoint spews a whole list of files...
rlocate-0.5.0-r1 |

there is some changes in database format between 0.5.0 and 0.5.1. if you didn't delete old database when updating/downgrading updatedb fails.
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/rlocated stop
rm /var/lib/rlocate/rlocate.db*
/etc/init.d/rlocated start
updatedb
|
also check system log & dmesg for rlocate. |

I have rlocate 0.5.1 up and running just fine. I suggest doing a
| Code: |
emerge -C rlocate
rm -f /var/lib/rlocate/rlocate.db
|
and then re-installing it, as on the wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_Slocate/Rlocate_in_Gentoo . Make sure you have default linux capabilities as a module and it's not loaded. If that works out well, I'll make note of it on the wiki.
After it's installed, of course, install the module into the kernel, start up the daemon and build up the initial database:
| Code: |
modprobe rlocate
/etc/init.d/rlocated start
updatedb
