Updatedb triggers find which reports inaccessible files like pagefile.sys 16 times if they reside on FAT32. Neither FAT nor NTFS 5.x exhibit this behaviour. Maybe an artifact of FAT32 directory structure. Currently there is no *NIX box with FAT32 mounted at hand. I don't expect updatedb on Knoppix or other Live-CD *NICES since these usually don't write to disk. So no cross-checking possible. Since Cygwin uses the Windows (XP Pro SP2) filesystem drivers, a *NIX may exhibit a different behaviour. The problem is minor unless Mr. Bad Guy may exploit it.
