Supermount is not included in the default updatedb.conf filesystems. Supermount is commonly used and convienient - it is also for removeable media, which shouldn't be indexed anyway. If it isn't pruned, a "locate -u" will try and index those mounts, which will lead to slocate hanging. Control-C doesn't end it. Only multiple "killall -9 locate" commands will end the process. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a supermount type mount mounted. 2. Type "locate -u" as root. 3. Actual Results: Locate hangs. Must be killed from a different console with repeated "killall -9 locate" commands. Expected Results: The default configuration should be to include supermount as one of the pruned filesystems. Slocate should not hang on supermount filesystems.

Err - the first sentence of the description should be changed to: Supermount is not included in the list of pruned filesystems in update.conf
The "locate -u" command still seems to hang, while an "updatedb" command works well. The problem may be something else...
All set in slocate-2.7-r4, thanks for the bug report!
