Spotlight is only supported on AFP-based network volumes. CIFS and NFS volumes aren’t indexed.
Are you connecting to those shares via cifs://server/share or smb://server/share? There was an issue with performance if you were mounting via cifs:// vs. smb://.

Directory listings are slow, and if you're any way distantfrom the netapp, you'll find latency makes it completely unusable.Have any of you found how to deal with this?Thanks,Ryan_______________________________________________Toasters mailing list
