For anybody who ends up here. I had this issue with auto mounted  NFS filesystems. What I did was:


Create /net.browsable

Then added the file :  /etc/auto.net.browsable
# GPV 08Jan23 - My best guess
#
# Need to add -browse option to this somehow
#
homes		nas:/homes
Reference	nas:/Public/Reference
Documents	nas:/Public/Documents
library		nas:/Public/library

These are some of the automounted filesystems, the ones I want updatedb to index. I did not include, for example, multimedia or temp space.


(obviously restart autofs , or just wait till next reboot)
