Redspike Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hey guys, Had my hackintosh up and running for the last year, a couple of weeks ago spotlight crashed and since then whenever I boot up I have to kill mds otherwise spotlight won't work and the hard drive is constantly accessed. Once mds has been killed it restarts itself and then spotlight works once again. If it isn't killed it continues to run at 20% cpu usage slows down the OS and continually accesses the HDD making it v v warm. So I guess my question is this, does anyone have a solution to this? I don't particularly mind having to kill mds when I boot. But it would make life easier if this wasn't a necessity.

Redspike Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks for the tip Dellmantt. But I was hoping to keep spotlight as I do actually use it quite a bit.
