Hi!
During recent updatedb-runs my x86 AMD SuSE 8.0 Linuxsystem suddenly
froze, to check this I started it at a console, and this was the output
(Might not be 100% correct, I had to write it down on paper):
# updatedb
/usr/bin/updatedb: line 213: 1945 Segmentation fault $find $SEARCHPATH
< $prunefs_exp -type d -regex "$PRUNEREGEX" > -prune -p -print
and the system didn't respond anymore.
I first though this was because I named a file "\n" <newline> but
deleting this didn't solve the problem, it later turned out that the
problem was my W2K NTFS Volume that was mounted read-only with the
option iocharset=utf8. I added this option to the /etc/fstab because
when accessing this partition xconsole sometimes said:
localhost kernel: NTFS: Unicode name contains a character that cannot be
converted to chosen character set. Remount with utf8 encoding and this
should work.
The strange thing is that the error also occurs when I ran updatedb as a
normal user, the following also froze my system ( /windows/d/ is my NTFS
mountpoint)
$ updatedb --output=/tmp/myudbfile --localpaths="/windows/d/"
Just doing
$ cd /windows/d/
$ find
didn't cause any problems.
Any Ideas?
