Ryan –
You can disable spotlight on a per-filesystem basis, see the bottom of the link for details.

I don't think we would want to disable spotlight across the board. It is useful in some cases.
Thanks,

Berkeley CommunicationsHi all,
Performance when accessing netapp CIFS shares from a Mac is frustrating,
and in some cases downright unusable.
It seems mostly related to OS X's desire to index everything with
Spotlight. Directory listings are slow, and if you're any way distant
from the netapp, you'll find latency makes it completely unusable.
Have any of you found how to deal with this?
Thanks,
Ryan
