I use 'locate' to find things on my box. Locate searches a db of the
contents all the file systems mounted in your fstab file. You have to
create the db by running 'updatedb'. You can setup 'updatedb' to run as
a cron job to keep a current inventory of your mounted file systems.
So..
1. At a root prompt of your choice, # updatedb
2. At a root prompt of your choice, # locate <foobar>
