Tip: If Spotlight refuses to index zfs array

Tip: Look for the presence of the hidden file metadata_never_index at the root of the array and delete it if found. Stymied me for a couple of hours yesterday.

Note: O3X used to create this file to suppress spotlight activity during early development when spotlight was causing problems for us. As of version 1.3.1-RC1 (see https://openzfsonosx.org/wiki/Changelog), this arrangement ceased.

Some users with very old pools might find this file present, it can be removed if desired.

Cheers
