If Spotlight does not find a file or a file's contents
Authored by: arcticmac on Nov 07, '11 07:42:46AM

I think I've seen something similar when copying between afp shares too, but over ab NFS mount, the default is to preserve the uid and gid of files. So if a user is uid 503 on the server, the user with that ID on the local machine owns the file. If there is no user 503 on the local machine then no one owns it.

The reason that adding admin read/write priveledges doesn't work(I think) is that when adding new users, the get info panel adds ACLs, which doesn't change the fact that the file doesn't have an owner. Of course, that shouldn't matter, so it's probably a bug, but...
