I tried that (along with literally everything else) but that didn't fix it. In years and years of this setup I've never had such a problem with my display before. Also the fact that the only thing that had changed on my computer was a download and install of MacFuse right before reboot. Then the fact that a restore (without any difference in hardware setup or connections) fixed it the evidence does tend to strongly suggest something associated with the install affected it. It is equally confusing that it didn't happen the second time though. > I believe you normally need to mount with the command line interface from > terminal.

Running this app seemed to mount it but it wasn't immediately visible. I was expecting it to mount and appear as a mount on the desktop and in Finder but navigating to Volumes via the Terminal does show SpotlightFS listed. Thanks for the info on how to do it via the Terminal though. That's useful to know. I've had a look on the SpotlightFS wiki page but unfortunately it doesn't mention anything about mounting the filesystem. I have a question about the display of the items in the SmarterFolders directory but I'll create a new post for that one as it starts to go onto another topic.
