Joke the fancy tools. Just issue the mdutil commands yourself. sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/fred sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/fred sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/fred >I was/am hoping to just let Spotlight run, but at times I may have >done (probably) a Restart before it had finished.

Spotlight is *known* to corrupt indices when interrupted. You can tell it's finished because all the md* processes have idled or ended. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
