Subject: locate and updatedb

Message-ID: <56BC940F.6070109@zoho.com> (raw)
Does anyone here have success using `updatedb` and `locate` in cygwin? I
use `locate` heavily on my Linux machines, but everytime I've tried to
run `updatedb` on cygwin I've given up and killed the process because it
is taking too long. Is there something wrong with cygwin's
implementation of `updatedb` making it not work at all or making it
slower that on my Linux machines? Or are there others who have success
using it on cygwin?
Byron
