hi,
for some reason, people like putting 1000's of small yet "critical" files in
/tmp and not clean them up. for some reason the admin cleans up /tmp only every
30 days. for some reason i cant conveince people to use other dir's for their
files.
for these reasons, updatedb fails because sort runs out of space on the /tmp
file system.
therefore, may i suggest a -T option be used for updatedb to let sort use a
different dir for its' temp files?
thanks from the trenches of the mainframe-minded healthcare industry,
peter icaza
