The /sys file system is not a real file system - it is created as part of udev, and contains information about hardware and drivers on the running system. updatedb should not be checking this tree at all. I wounder if /sys should be added to the PRUNEPATHS list in /etc/updatedb.conf - that way the directory would be skipped.
I added /sys and /proc in PRUNEPATHS in updatedb.conf. Question is should we file an RFE for this to be part of defaults?
