makewhatis / updatedb

Evil Top-poster here:

I actually knew the difference of makewhatis and updatedb at one time...
Such trivia (right) leaves my noggin soon after discovering and solving
the issue that led to the knowledge.

Solution for updatedb running forever:

updatedb -f "types" was basically ignored, so I added /mnt to my -e
switch. The whole thing took about 5 minutes after fixing that running
manually.

Thanks Bob, and Rick, even though . . . well, you know.
