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 they be taking up 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?

Thanks in advance for help any one can provide.

Best regards,

allan
