Update Locate Database on FreeBSD

Locate

Have the system we are using FreeBSD, we are searching the files. When using whereis can not find the file, then we will use locate.

However, if our system has been installed, we often see an error message when executing this command locate. Error message is as follows:

locate: database too small: /var/db/locate.database

You can create or update the database again owned by the locate by using the command:
