Whenever Spotlight indexes my external firewire drive, my computer (iMac G4, OSX 10.4.4) kernel panics and I have to restart. Consequently, I have added this f/w drive to Spotlight's privacy tab so that it no longer indexes it and I can run my Mac all day with no probs (I use EasyFind if I want to find anything).
However, at exactly midnight this external drive - despite still being in Spotlight's "Privacy" section - starts to index again and I get that "restart" freeze. Aside from unmounting the external drive at 11.59pm or shutting down and going to bed early (!), is there any way to stop this happening? Thanks!
