--- Comment #1 from Thomas Corell <fbsd-bug-reports@dum.dk> ---
This bug is still around. I'm not sure, if I should open a new bug-report or
add to this bug-report ?

Had a hard time to track it down on a FreeBSD 11, with a generic kernel.

However running it the "right way" it does nothing, except a empty
locate-database:
---
# time sh /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate

Rebuilding locate database:
0.159u 0.341s 0:00.74 66.2%     77+206k 38+0io 0pf+0w
---

Running /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb as root "works", except that it is not
recommended.

My work-around was to use PRUNEPATHS in /etc/locate.rc, and add '/mnt'. Then
/etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate runs as expected.
