In many cases using Synchronize it is desirable to turn off Apple's Spotlight indexing engine on the volume where Synchronize is keeping the copy of the original data. This allows for faster synchronization and more space on the target disk. To turn it off just exeute this command in the Terminal window: sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/VOLUME_NAME just replace the VOLUME_NAME with the name of the volume as seen on the Mac Finder Desktop. You can also put this command in Sync-plan pre-script so you know it is executed every time the Sync plan runs. Pay attention to omit "sudo" as the process already runs with adequate permissions. | |
