Spotlight reindex, mds crash

Hello,
I was searching a lot of stuff and I didn't found any resonable solution.
It starts about the last update to 10.9.1. (17.12.).
Main problem is like this: every time I open a lid on my AriMac, spotlight is starting reindexation.
I found some lines in console about mds crash report with information in it:
Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: EXC_I386_GPFLT
Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0xffffffffffffff08
below include my system raport, maybe sombody can help a bit, or a lot :-)

mds is the metadata server that is used primarily by Spotlight. That file probably appeared because mds crashed. It's possible the file should have been invisible but lost its invisible status, but of this I'm not sure. If you look in the console log for the date and time when that file was created you may find a log entry. If not in the console log perhaps in one of the other logs such as the crash reporter logs.
Kappy,
I searched for mds-crash-state in the console, system, and other logs, and could find no reference to it at all. However, searching for just mds yielded the following on July 10, 2008, in the crashreporter.log:
Thu Jul 10 08:04:30 2008 crashdump[3522]: crashdump started
Thu Jul 10 08:04:33 2008 crashdump[3522]: Started writing crash report to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/mds.crash.log
Thu Jul 10 08:04:36 2008 crashdump[3522]: Finished writing crash report to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/mds.crash.log
The file called mds-crash-state in my Macintosh HD folder has a creation date of July 10, 2008, 8:04 AM in Get-Info, so the above is almost certainly connected to that event. But there is no indication that it exited abnormally, as far as I can see. There are no more entries on the 10th at all, and no more references in any of the logs to mds, so this appears to be a one-time event? The file I have detected is a "state" file, not a log file, and it is stored in a different location.
As always, thanks for your help.

  • Spotlight - MDS - Crashing over and over

    A few days ago I did a Spotlight search and it froze. Since then my Mac has been Windows unstable. Mail crashes some times, Excel others times, Console, Activity Monitor, Safari, WebKit, iPhoto - all crash now. MDS is running almost constantly and crashes over and over - never finishes. In fact in Console I currently have 27 mds crash logs, 14 in the last hour. The computer is becoming unusable. Oh, no APE etc...
    Steps I have taken:
    Repair Permissions, verify disk, repair disk, CCCed to a new disk, REinstalled 10.5.4 combo, rerepaired disk, etc. And before I did all the mutil /E type "stuff".
    Net net; mds is running and crashing over and over. This seems to be causing other apps to crash as well. Other oddity - most of the time when an application crashes, it does not quit/shutdown - it just is hung in the Not Responding state. Multiple ReportCrash processes will run but never complete and cannot be quit or forced quit - including sudo kill -9. Then the Not Responding application cannot be killed off either and the system will not shutdown - requires hard stop on power.
    If this were a DELL I would understand. But this is a Quad Core G5 Mac running 10.5.4 and 4.5 gigs of Apple RAM.
    Note - just while writing this, I have 5 more mds crash logs - of of which refer to a KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE and EXCBADACCESS.
    Ideas?

    Hi Ashler, I think baltwo is right, and you need to reinstall the OS (Archive & Install) because your Spotlight system is "hosed". If you read about the A&I first and perhaps print or write the steps out (very simple, really), I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how easy Apple has made the process. It's nothing as bad as doing a Windows re-install.
    But first, we should try to think of the reason for the problem. Have you been running anything that tries to duplicate or otherwise modify the behaviour of Spotlight? In my experience, I have found that everything from Google Desktop to Microsoft Office 2008 have caused Spotlight/indexing/MDS problems on Macs recently. A Spotlight plugin (like any of the .mdimporter plugins from Office, for example) could cause problems; or perhaps Google Desktop's efforts to duplicate Spotlight's services. Or perhaps any other bit of software.
    In any case, BEFORE you do the Archive & Install, be sure to go through your main root Library and also your user home Library, and look for items that might be running and causing problems. Also, use Activity Monitor to show all processes and see if there's an app running at startup or login. Then disable the things that might be the cause. Somehow, try to make sure that whatever has got jammed in your system is not going to get transferred by the Archive & Install and end up doing the same thing again when you are done. Try removing the Privacy Spotlight settings and then running from a fresh newly created user account to see if the problem lies with the System as a whole, or just within your own user home folder.
    Let us know how you do. Good luck anyway - your Archive & Install will fix you right up.

  • Mds-crash-state?

    i was updating my two ipods and i noticed something in the macintosh hd and it had a white file and it was labeled mds-crash-state. when i clicked it said there was no application to open it. when i tried to delete it, it required a password. what is this file?!?!!?!? it sounds horrible!

    This file appears if Spotlight crashes at some point; you don't need to keep it on your hard disk. You were asked for a password when you tried to delete it because the hard disk has a flag set which will cause non-root users to be asked for an administrator password if they try to delete something which they aren't the owner of from the disk's top level.

  • Spotlight keeps on crashing

    Spotlight keeps on crashing when I type something like network utility or console. The spinner on the left of the window seems to freeze and then the window disappears. I tried deleting the com.apple.spotlight.plist file but no use. This is what it says on Console:

    Remove com.apple.spotlight.plist from /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ and try again. If the problem persists, create a new admin user account, log into it, and try again.

  • Spotlight (mds) crashes after running TimeMachine

    Hi!
    As other posted in this forum I faced several freeze ups after running TimeMachine. I had a closer look into the console logs and found the process "mds" (meta data search aka Spotlight) crashes after every backup performed by TimeMachine:

    It's always thread no. 5. My next try will be to disable Spotlight, but has anybody the same problem?
    Mattes

    I googled some posts in the net, e. g. <http://automators.net/news/macosxhints-com/10-5-disable-spotlight-completely/> about disabling Spotlight, but tried a less intrusive way: First by dragging the backup volume in the Privacy tab (Spotlight system preferences), but the mounted network share wasn't selectable. So my second try was running "sudo mdutil -i off <volume>".
    Sorry guys, I should have mentioned that my TimeMachine backup is located on an AEBS-attached USB drive (TM's unsupported network device) and Spotlight seems to have problems with this volume (not the mounted sparse image) ...

  • Help needed - constant MDS crashing

    My Imac G5 has a continuing crash with the "mds" revealing in the Console Crash Reporting that a report is being written every 30 seconds or so. Its making my machine work harder as you can hear the fans speeding up then slowing down and then up & down again.
    I'll try and attach a log for the more knowledgeable than me to view and hopefully some answers
    and how to rectify.
    This first came to my attention when trying to use Time Machine which kept failing and still wont
    complete backups.

    Barry,
    Thanks for your reply.
    As it stands at the moment I have removed the "mds" file to the trash and every thing has now calmed down - no more crashes - and what's more I can now back-up using Time Machine something I was unable to do before.
    This "mds" file is Unix Executable, so do you know what it does and if its removed will there be any
    problems.
    Perhaps some else might know this answer

  • Spotlight reindexing often

    not sure why, but spotlight seems to be reindexing every few minutes....haven't added any new software
    wife had an issue with a bad CompactFlash card downloading images from her camera, but can't see the connection between the two (if there is one)
    any ideas?
    patrick lafferty

    Hello:
    Take a look at system preferences>spotlight.  Time Machine is automatically excluded, I think, but indexing external hard drives can cause what you describe (I exclude both of mine from indexing).

  • Spotlight + help menu -- crashes any programs

    Has anyone else had a program crash when opening/typing into the Leopard help menu? I figured out the other day that if you accidentally open Spotlight when you have the help menu open, whatever program you're currently using will crash. It's very annoying bug. Anyone had this happen before?

    Thanks, Ian, for your helpful link! I treid all teh suggested solutions on that page, and finally wound up using the excellent Pacifist, found at http://www.charlessoft.com/
    With the help of Pacifist, I was able to get HelpViewer reinstalled and all my mac help menus are available again.
    Again, thanks for your help. I'm very grateful.

  • Spotlight reindexing after abnormal power down

    My Macbook will occasionally fail to put itself into proper sleep mode, and instead will power itself off entirely. That's a separate issue, but on Leopard this event causes Spotlight to reindex on the next restart. Could be normal in response to an abnormal power down though.

    I have the same problem here I called Apple three time for this and engineer told me to reinstall Leopard 1st time I did reinstall Archive and Install and it did not work, the 2nd time I did a clean install and it worked for three days without reindexing and everything worked fine.
    Today my iMac hanged and i got the screen that says "You need to restart your computer Hold down the power button for several seconds or press restart... etc."
    after restarting the reindexing start again, I noticed when the iMac hangs the reindexing starts.
    I have an external drive WD My Book 1TB with about 700GB of data with Time Machine backups. it is reindexing for the past 15 hours and it is estimating indexing time forever.
    the external drive was formated with iMac 20" intel based, Partition Map Scheme: Apple Partition Map and it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    my drives fats on all the time and the iMac is unusable ATSserver is @74%
    any help guys?
    Thank you

  • Spotlight reindexing

    When I go to reindex my Macintosh HD under Spotlight > Privacy it says that it will exclude this location from Spotlight searches. I was told that if I am to reindex my hard drive then my computer would show the correct amount of data usage under the About This Mac tab (it currently shows disproportionate storage to what is actually been used - says I have 120gb of apps when I only have 11). 
    Is there any other way to make the About This Mac > Storage tab show the correct amount of storage used? If not, do I need to worry about excluding Macintosh HD from Spotlight searches?
    Thank you

      That is correct. That is the way to force a reindexing of Macintosh HD.
    When  Macintosh HD is prevented  from  searching , the existing index will be deleted automatically.
    That will force the OS X to create a new index.
    When you add Macintosh HD to the Privacy pane of Spotlight
    You will get a dialog box  like this. Click OK.

  • Spotlight reindexing extremely slow

    Hi,
    I have used MainMenu to run some maintenance on my MacBook (yes, I know that this probably is not necessary, but this is just me). The last thing the MainMenu does is rebuild the Spotlight index. Until today, no problems.
    Now, however, the reindexing has lasted for hours, the process is about 75% complete, but Spotlight tells me it still has some 28 hours to go!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Juha

    Spotlight was just going thru a rough spot, it has finished now.

  • Spotlight reindexing on bootup

    Can anyone tell me why Spotlight would suddenly want to reindex my startup disc and an offboard drive from scratch every time I start or restart my iMac? I had two hard freezes recently while a Bittorrent client (Transmission) and Toast 8 were running. Fixes to once again make the indexes persistent would be appreciated.

    For testing purposes, see what happens with spotlight in a new account. If it's OK there then look in
    Users/yourname/Library/LaunchAgents . Is there anything there that doesn't belong?
    All I seem to have there is several com.apple.folderactions.... .plists
    (And also check in System Preferences>Log in items.)
    Then go to Activity Monitor in Utilities and see if that process, whatever it may be, is still running there.
    Spotlight might be getting hung up on one of these, if they exist.

  • Macbook hanging: ctl_enqueuedata, ALF ALERT, Spotlight reindex

    Hi
    I have a May 2006 Macbook [1] running 10.5.1. For the last fortnight or so I've been getting random "hangs" which can only be fixed with a power off/on restart. The trackpad still works but clicking on things doesn't do anything; I can't quit running apps nor Apple -> restart.
    More often than not Spotlight has to reindex once I've restarted. After reindexing Spotlight often doesn't find applications -- I cmd-space, type "firef" and it doesn't find Firefox. Typing the full name doesn't help.
    Browsing through system.log it seems that I often get these errors right before it hangs up:
    Jan 25 20:32:25 my-macbook kernel[0]: ctl_enqueuedata: mallocpacketinternal(8) failed
    Jan 25 20:32:25 my-macbook kernel[0]: ALF ALERT: sockwallcntlreleasecachedpath ctl_enqueuedata rts err 55
    It's not always fatal -- I've seen the lines logged once or twice without the machine dying on me.
    So, any ideas? A few other people have posted with similar errors but they mostly seem related to additional hardware drivers (mice, that sort of thing). I don't have anything particularly fruity installed -- just the usual Firefox, TextMate, etc user applications. No additional hardware, save for a USB HDD that's always been fine.
    Here's hoping,
    Mark
    [1] Originally 2006, anyway. It's had two new hard discs, a new heatsink, two new bezels and a new video inverter and cable. And the AC adapter still hisses and the screen's flickering again. It's a Friday afternoon dud, but what can I do about it?

    Did you get any luck with this?
    I'm getting the same ALF ALERT message in my console
    - and ?related or not?
    some weird behaviour where time machine keeps labelling my built-in hard drive with the same icon as the time machine hard drive!

  • Spotlight's mdworker crashes after FLOP exception

    Hi there.
    Got some small troubles with Spotlight, my problem is hardly acute, but it has been very painful for me to find. The thing is that I have two folders filled with some extracted application data (from file-ending masked zip files). They contain a few thousand audio and text files plus folders and a bunch of .DS_Store, havn't found anything suspicious. When Spotlight's mdworker tries to index these files it crashes with the following message:
    2009-05-21 21.36.36 ReportCrash\[674\] Formulating crash report for process mdworker\[673\]
    2009-05-21 21.36.36 com.apple.launchd\[1\] (0x10be10.mdworker\[673\]) Exited abnormally: Floating point exception

    Sometimes the "ReportCrash" part doesn't show up, but otherwise that's what keeps coming up every or every other second.
    I currently got the two folders in a non-indexed location to avoid this, but as soon as I move them outside this location spotlight goes haywire. It is, since i found the cause, no longer a very big problem. But I still want to know what might have caused this problem, and I haven't really found any good explanations out there on the net. There doesn't seem to be any apparent errors with the files inside, just that Spotlight doesn't like them or something like that.
    Thanks.
    P.S.: These are the first few lines from the CrashReport:

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    There's clearly something missing or in the wrong place in that/those files. Perhaps something in the originals didn't get compressed properly, or wasn't decompressed right, or with a different package, or on a different OS.
    As I understand it, since various types of files have their metadata stored in different places, mdworker looks at what sort of file it is, and calls different "mdimporters" for each type of file. So there are many little things that can go wrong.
    I realize that's not much of an answer, and it's probably not worth trying to re-extract them to see if you can manage to re-create them properly.
    On the other hand, if you can figure out how to do it with one file, you could probably write an Automator or Applescript app to do it for all of them.

  • Continuous Spotlight reindexing of Time Machine/Capsule backup

    I have recently noticed that Spotlight tries to reindex the mounted image of the backup on the desktop and that prevents the machine from going to sleep, etc., as I have 113 GB of data being backed up and it is done wirelessly to a Time Capsule. So, anyway to prevent it from doing this? Just using Spotlight preferences to do this doesn't work as the next time it mounts for backup the reindexing starts again.
    It is very annoying.

    I have done that a myriad times, but all of a sudden the problem went away on its own. For a week or two it was really bad.
    The Privacy tab solution is a temporary one until the .dmg file gets unmounted, then it is like you never used the privacy tab to exclude that volume because the next time the volume gets mounted it is like starting from scratch. That's why I made the original post.
