/tmp filesystem full

[Andy Wodfer]

Can't seem to figure out the problem with MAXPATHLEN.

locate: integer out of +-MAXPATHLEN (1024): 1029


In my /etc/locate.rc I have pruned several directories (even the most
obvious) - still the locate DB exeeds well over 1GB before outputting this
error message.

I have moved the tmp dir for locate to /usr/tmp which works fine (changed
in locate script) and there is no problems with diskspace here.

the find awk command suggested earlier in this thread didn't give me a
better clue about what's happening.

Anyone have any other ideas what I can try to find out why locate fails?

Thanks!
Andy
