Interestingly, I turn mds off for all volumes before and after volume mounted and yet it doesn't log that it is turning off mds for the external volume.
Cannot eject or force eject volume from Finder (GUI) and still mds processes with open files on the volume but ejects first time from command line (sudo hdiutil ...). It seems to be a Finder vs. command line thing but since I guess they use the same underlying API, it would seem to be a permissions things (command line runs as root). Very strange (at least to me). Cheers, Ashley. PS Tested the above twice, repeatedly turning off mds (without turning back on) for all volumes between volume being mounted etc. On 16/02/2013, at 4:08 AM, Tim Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > Use the following to disable mds aka Spotlight.
