spotlight and Safety Clones
Not surprisingly, after making a safety clone, Spotlight is busy churning away, presumably indexing my safety clone.
Given than the safety clone has lots of symbolic links to the main partition, is this a waste...am I getting in effect two references to all my user files? Should I turn off spotlight indexing my safety clone? |
After adding a second hard drive to the "Privacy" list, Spotlight now claims to have about 25 hours remaining (up from about 2 hours when I added the drive), and Spotlight is using up about 60% of CPU time.
I know this a Spotlight, not an SD! issue, but do folks on this board understand Spotlight enough to know what's happening here? |
No, you don't need to do that. Spotlight should be smart enough to figure out you only have one real copy of your user files (and does here)...

It's a bad estimate. Give it time to settle down, and it should take far less time & CPU.
