10.4: Create Spotlight indexes for networked volumes
Authored by: phdonnelly on May 06, '05 11:23:22PM
Hmm, I've got pretty much the same setup as you (Debian x86 box running netatalk 2.0.2 serving up a couple shares), but whenever I try to enable indexing on them I get "Could not set indexing status for volume". I can get the indexing status just fine(disabled), which is more than I can do for my NFS/Samba shares, but still can't set it. Would you mind posting the pertinent parts of your afpd.conf and AppleVolumes.default files?

10.4: Create Spotlight indexes for networked volumes

Nevermind, found the solution to my own problem; the AFP shares have to be read/write and not read-only or you can't enable indexing. Seems a little strange to me as all the spotlight info is stored locally.
