Re[2]: [cobalt-users] Locate Command

[Allan Liska <allan@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello John,

Thanks for the hint, unfortunately that was not it...I am wondering,
this particular machine is showing that the Operating system and
programs are taking up 436.5 Megabytes of space, which is red-lining
the active monitor.  Could this be so much space, that the updatedb is
unable to write to the locatedb file?  If this is the case can I
increase the amount of space allocated for OS and programs?

I went through and deleted all of the temp file I could find, but this
did not help.  I also worked with Cobalt support, but they were unable
to make any recommendations with regard to what files should be
deleted.

Thanks in advance for help any one can provide.
