Hey!

With the move away from slocate a short bit ago, I have not gotten mlocate to do anything. updatedb runs fine (seemingly). A new db is created:
| Code: | # date ; updatedb ; ls -l /var/lib/mlocate/
Tue Dec 14 08:33:02 EST 2010
total 13860
-rw-r----- 1 root locate 14192422 Dec 14 08:33 mlocate.db |
And when I use locate, nothing is returned:
| Code: | # locate -i linux
# |
Here's the configs:
| /etc/updatedb.conf wrote: | # $Id: updatedb.conf,v 1.3 2009/01/29 16:07:33 fauli Exp $
# This file sets variables that are used by updatedb.
# For more info, see the updatedb.conf(5) manpage.
# Filesystems that are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEFS="afs auto autofs cifs devfs devpts eventpollfs futexfs gfs hugetlbfs iso9660 mqueue ncpfs nfs NFS nfs4 nfsd nnpfs pipefs proc ramfs rpc_pipefs selinuxfs sfs shfs smbfs sockfs subfs supermount sysfs tmpfs udf usbfs vperfctrfs"

Any ideas? I've already removed all traces of slocate since I read (somewhere) that mlocate will fine slocate's stuff and try and reuse that. I removed and remerged mlocate with --noconfmem hoping to force-overwrite anything from before (and anything still left from slocate that I may have missed...).
My filesystems are XFS, if that changes anything.
| Code: | #------
/dev/sda5 /boot xfs rw,noatime 0 2
/dev/sda6 / xfs rw,noatime,logbufs=8 0 1
/dev/sda7 /usr/portage xfs rw,noatime,logbufs=8 0 2
/dev/sda8 none swap sw 0 0
#------
#------
/dev/sdb5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb6 /usr/local xfs rw,noatime,logbufs=8 0 2
#------
#------
# System Stuff
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
#------ |
Help?

UPDATE:
After I peeled my head off my desk after having noticed this, I decided to type this out.
I've fixed it and mlocate works 100% as advertised. I have *NO* idea why I put this line in /etc/profile, but since I'm the only one that uses this system, it must've been me:
| Code: | | alias locate="locate -l0" |
(that's lower-case L)
Meaning, it returns ZERO results! I dunno... 
It's all good and working now.
