Updatedb in xen mode

[Luc MAIGNAN]

Hi,

on a fedora 6, I've setup a guest OS (FC6 of course). On the guest OS, 
when I do an 'updatedb', the system seems to be freezed and takes 99% 
CPU. It hasn't finish after 1h30... (nothing has been installed after 
the OS)

Any help would be appreciated

If you have modest hardware resources it may take a while to get the job done.

Please give us a break! Stop with being coy, embarrassed or shy. Give
us the details!

Are you using XEN, VMware (server | workstation | client), or other
virtualization software?

What version?

What FC6 kernel, e.g. "uname -a" are you running?

What hardware resources do you have cpu (lowly celeron, power-hungery
xenon, etc.) and memory (total system, client allocation)?

What other processes do you have running on the host OS?

Hi,

as the title said, I am under XEN with FC6.
Uname -r gives : 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6xen
The hardware is pretty good : Intel xeon 1.6GHZ, 2Gb ram, 500 GB HD in raid5

Any processes I've launched.

Thanks for help and time

Possibly a case of this bug:
