Normally Spotlight tries not to index network volumes, but it's not documented (a) how it detects that a volume is a network volume, or (b) what it does if there is already an index on the volume, for example when you are mounting an entire volume from another computer. Perhaps Amit knows?
Anyway, you can use mdutil to check the status and manually disable indexing: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/mdutil.1.html # Check the status % sudo mdutil -s /Volumes/MyDisk /Volumes/MyDisk: Status: Indexing Enabled # Turn indexing off % sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/MyDisk /Volumes/MyDisk: Indexing disabled for volume. drew On Aug 3, 2007, at 9:53 AM, p wrote: > > Hi all, > > i'm resource constrained on my laptop, and mounting via sshfs remote > disk really helps a lot, but is the a way to prevent sportlight > indexing of these. > If not, how to completly disable Spotlight? > > thx > > > > -- Drew Thaler Recording Artist Email/AIM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: +1.440.546.1952 Cell: +1.440.552.7687 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "macfuse-devel" group.
