Bugzilla Bug 60204

1. Modify /etc/updatedb.conf - add /mnt in 
# paths which are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/tmp"

So, it will be look like this
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/tmp /mnt"

It removes from database any cd-roms, floppyes and other such crap

2. /etc/cron.daily/slocate
Add -n 19 to nice

#! /bin/sh

if [ -x /usr/bin/updatedb ]
then
        if [ -f /etc/updatedb.conf ]
        then
                nice -n 19 /usr/bin/updatedb
        else
                nice -n 19 /usr/bin/updatedb -f proc
        fi
fi

By default, nice without parametrs run with priority 10. Many background programs runs with priority 15-16. And if i call them during updatedb, i receive very big lag - its very annoing, especialy on notebooks, where updatedb starts during 5-6 minutes after power on ...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

-19 is too strong. That'll interfere with SETI :)

can you qualify 'many programs' ?

also, /mnt shouldnt be a real problem since we prune many of the filesystem types

May be add to prunefs "vfat" and "ntfs" instead adding "/mnt"?

-19 is not too strong, because updatedb takes so little time ... ;-))

When i start updatedb without "-n 19" mouse cursor in X move with lags, music plays with small pauses, etc ...

With "-n 19" nothing happens like this. I look in 'top' - many programs like squid, named etc works with priority 16-18.

nice has already been added to updatedb (Bug 37871)

/mnt wont be added to prunefs list ... iso is already in the prune list, but adding vfat/ntfs isnt going to happen
