At exactly midnight every night my LaCie external firewire drive gets
indexed and causes my G4 iMac to kernel-panic and freeze after 15 seconds.
To prevent this happening during the day I've added the external disc to
Spotlight's "privacy" mode, but the Mac seems to override this setting at
midnight. Only cure? Unplugging this drive at 11.59pm or shutting down and
going to bed early.
Any clues please? Thanks!
Isn't Spotlight special?
