>Description:
I have a filesystem mounted on /bak which is mode 770 (actually the dir is mode 660 and a smbfs is mounted on it which promotes that to 770 on the directory nodes).  The locate db fails to build because it uses find with -fstype which exits very early when statfs returns EACCES on /bak.

I don't know if it's actually a bug that statfs is failing (so this may need to be resolved in the kernel) but it's easy to tolerate it in find.


>How-To-Repeat:
mkdir /bak
chmod 660 /bak
mount_smbfs ... /bak
/etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate
# or better, su to nobody and run the find in /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb by hand

>Fix:
Possibly the perms check in the statfs() system call should change.  If it's correct as-is, the following patch to find tolerates the failure:
