Yes I have searched the forums.

When I run updatedb, it doesn't seem to be indexing my mounted ntfs drives. I've checked the /etc/updatedb.conf and it doesn't say anything about ntfs being included or excluded. Any ideas?

my updatedb.conf
# This file sets environment variables which are used by updatedb

# filesystems which are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEFS="NFS nfs afs proc smbfs autofs iso9660 ncpfs coda devpts ftpfs devfs mfs sysfs"
export PRUNEFS
# paths which are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /amd /alex /var/spool /sfs"
export PRUNEPATHS
# netpaths which are added
NETPATHS=""
export NETPATHS
# run find as this user
LOCALUSER="nobody"
export LOCALUSER
# cron.daily/find: run at this priority -- higher number means lower priority
# (this is relative to the default which cron sets, which is usually +5)
NICE=10
export NICE
