updatedb sould prune fstype "fuse.mfs"

[Olivier Archer]

Hi,
  moosefs filesystem can be more than 1 peta byte and must be pruned by default.

/etc/updatedb.conf contain "mfs" in PRUNEFS, but mfs fs type is "fuse.mfs".

So I've added "fuse.mfs" to /etc/updatedb.conf to prevent a lot of client (more than 100) to index my big mfs partition.

I think that should be the default behaviour

fuse.mfs should be added to /etc/updatedv.conf file witch is part of mlocate package not findutils

I added the bug in Debian

I got an answer from Debian mlocate maintainer, that he's going to fix it next time he does a mlocate upload.
