            Bug ID: 266410
           Summary: Locate database update scripts runs even it is
                    disabled in periodic.conf
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sgubdsbeerf@asmco.de

What is happening?
I observed several times a find command running over my ZFS data pool
and causing many read operations. I disabled updating the locate database
in periodic.conf but it seems to run nevertheless.

What do I expect to happen?
Not to run if it is disabled.

How to reproduce?
Set weekly_locate_enable to NO in /etc/periodic.conf and monitor IO
operations and the process list.

Further information

$ grep locate /etc/periodic.conf
weekly_locate_enable="NO"
