Re: Strange message from updatedb


Eric Blake:
/usr/bin/find: /c/System Volume Information: Permission denied

Not a problem - you can't find details about certain in-use system files.

I don't think that was the question. If you note at the end of his message, he gives the command invocation, which included that string in --prunepaths. That is, it's not the "permission denied" that's raising issues, but rather that the exact string passed to --prunepaths is still being searched. (I believe he escaped the space characters but I could be misremembering.)

Likewise for some of the other paths in the report.  They should already
be discarded via --prunepaths, but they're being searched anyhow, producing
various secondary errors.
