SPOTLIGHT Support?

Post by jasonturner » Sat Sep 15, 2012 10:53 pm

I just installed ZEVO CE to replace MacZFS and everything looks OK. Only message received was that the drives are using an older format.

Question: I've disabled Spotlight on the MacZFS RAID. Does anyone know if ZEVO's implementation of ZFS works with Spotlight?

That's good to hear. Did you try upgrading the pool version?

Spotlight works as it should be. Even unmounting the Volume is possible

@jasonturner

I tried installing Zevo CE over MacZFS, but my pools aren't being mounted anymore. Did you have to do anything special? Change the ZFS label on the partition type, etc?

Great thank you- I will enable spotlight and see what happens.

I haven't updated the pools yet.

I just installed CE and ran the data integrity validation tool from System Preferences. Everything is working fine so far.

I'm considering starting fresh but it's 2.5TB - not a lot but it will still take a bit of time.

I have an external raidz2 and had to disable spotlight on that pool. It wa a consistent and quick panic
when spotlight tried to index it.

Please post or send us the panic log. Thanks.

Note that Spotlight doesn't work with older pool versions (prior to v24). The ZEVO implementation relies on the System Attributes (SA) dnode layouts that are only available in pool v24 and file system v5.
