Re: search in 10.5 server
thank you for the reply! I did it and when I told it to erase, it responded 'Indexing disabled' nothing about erasing.checking Activity viewer after I turned indexing back on there is little to no activity from any 'md' process most I've seen is 0.6 for a second on 'mds' -sam At 10:40 AM -0400 10/29/2008, Sam Macomber wrote: Server is 10.5, xserve G5, files are stored on an xRAID, shared through AFP and spotlight search for the share point in question is turned on. problem is we've got small JPG versions of every image shot here since 2003, stored in folders by year/month At least once a day the photographers need to find one of these images going by the file name. But when searched most files don't come up, usually just ones shot this year. Sounds like your spotlight indexes are foo. Try rebuild them by first disabling Spotlight's indexing on that volume then erase the index then re-enable indexing. In Terminal, use these three commands: sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/fred sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/fred sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/fred Do this from an admin account. The first will ask for your admin password. Replace fred with the actual volume's name. Be sure to let things sit afterward, to give Spotlight time to complete the indexing process.

I should have also commented that the CPU overhead of Leopard was about 2% higher than Tiger. Tiger was about 5% CPU usage on this 1.67 GHz PowerBook G4, and Leopard was about 7% at rest with nothing running except the default System software. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
