6 #The following list should contain the mount points of all filesystems
7 #that are to be scanned as a space-separated list within parentheses.
8 #/ will usually be in this list and if you have /usr
9 #on a separate partition, it will also be in this list. Other non-special
10 #filesystems where package users could own files should also be put in this
11 #list.
12 #Mount points whose filesystems are special, such as procfs or sysfs must
13 #not be in this list. While a simple find on those special filesystems should
14 #be harmless, operations such as "-exec grep something" are NOT SAFE and may
15 #have HARMFUL SIDE-EFFECTS, especially when performed as root.

18 #Files with a path prefix found in the following list are ignored.
19 #This list will usually contain the parent directory of your package users'
20 #home directories, because normally you don't want to scan those. You can
21 #also add other directories that will never contain package user files, such
22 #as /home. This reduces scan time.
23 #NOTE: The LFS-6.0 book uses a ramfs mounted on /dev and with that setup
24 #/dev does not need to be in the prune list. But since there is no requirement
25 #that /dev have its on filesystem it's better to prune it explicitly.
