I recently had to repartition the drive I use to backup my main hdd and now I am back in the frustrating position of trying to get Spotlight to not index it
. I add it to the privacy list but it appears SD is re-enabling indexing? This is taken from the log -
| 09:22:40 PM | Info | ......COMMAND => Restoring Spotlight search indexing state on Backup
| 09:22:41 PM | Info | /Volumes/Backup:
| 09:22:41 PM | Info | Indexing disabled for volume.
| 09:22:41 PM | Info | /Volumes/Backup:
| 09:22:41 PM | Info | Could not set indexing status for volume.
| 09:22:41 PM | Info | Indexing enabled on Backup
I have tried deleting the .Spotlight folder and turning indexing off using mdutil etc. but for some reason it gets taken out of the privacy list when SD finishes.
Any ideas?
