Index a NAS drive

Hi all, we recently installed a NAS drive, but have discovered that 10.8 will not index a drive connected over the ethernet, is there a fix for this?

Not any I'm aware of. File a bug report or enhancement request with Apple.

  • Get Spotlight to index a NAS disk?

    Is it possible to get Spotlight to index a NAS disk? (Or should it do this normally but it's not working properly?).
    I have a NAS disk permanently connected to my Mac (LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini) & every time I do a search on there it will churn away searching but not return any results.
    Actually it seems like it might be a bug because as well as not returning any results once I've closed the Finder window it will still continue churning away searching (I can hear the disk activity).
    It will continue until I reboot the computer.

    OK, the Terminal is a the way that you access UNIX shell commands (the Mac command line interface). Instead of clicking on things you have to type the actual command into the "prompt" hit return, and then the shell executes the command. So you go to the Utilities folder and double click Terminal to launch it. Exactly what you see when it finishes launching will depend on how you have configured it, so it won't be exactly what I see, but there will be some words of encouragement and then the prompt, where you will type things:
    Last login: Tue Mar 20 14:06:01 on ttyp1
    Welcome to Darwin!
    -bash:~francine$
    The "$" is where you start typing, or you can copy and paste things in also. You would then type:
    sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/YOURDRIVENAME/
    You must make sure everything you type is exactly as given, thus you may want to simply copy and paste this:
    sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/
    and, making sure there is no space after that final "/" character, type the name of your drive exactly as it appears in Finder. If the name has any spaces in it be sure to surround it with quotes:
    sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/"MY FAT DRIVE"/
    Then hit the Return key. You will be asked for your admin password, and given a little lecture (this is only delivered the first time you use a sudo command). The password you type is not echoed to the screen in anyway whatsoever, so type very carefully and when you finish hit the Return key again. You'll then get the notice that indexing is enabled. Type the word exit, hit Return, and then quit Terminal.

  • Indexing a NAS across two systems for Spotlight

    Hey all. I work for a graphics department of small business. The resident IT guy doesn't know anything abut the Macs that we use for all our designwork, so its kinda up to me to figure out all this stuff here as the resident nerd among my coworkers.
    Anyways, we currently have two systems in the office, a 2012 Intel iMac running OS X 10.7, and a dinosaur orignal Power Mac G5 running 10.5. We have a ton of files spread across both systems, and use Spotlight to pull up stuff we need quickly (as I'm sure most of you do as well XP)
    However, despite both systems being on the asme network with sharing enabled, we can't index the others drive to enable spotlight searching of the other systems content. This makes sense as I don't believe OS X is able to index another systems internal drive. So I was thinking of getting a NAS, consolidating and moving all the content we use from both systems onto said NAS, then indexing that drive on both desktops, alowing us to easily spotlight search for everything we normally use on both systems.
    I know you can easily set up a local USB or Firewire drive to be indexed via Terminal, but I'm not sure if the same thing applies to a NAS. Googling around has brought up some conflicting conjectures from multiple sources. I figure before I drop $150 of company money, I'd get a second opinion if I'm on the right track here ^_^;
    Thanks for your time, appreciate any advice you may be able to provide!

  • Indexing a NAS

    Hello. Is there a way or command to force spotlight to index a network drive? I have a NAS and it has a lot of files on it that I constantly need to search. It would be much faster if it was indexed. I recall there was a command that would force the index to be created, but I forget the command.
    Note: My system specs say I'm using SL, but this question actually pertains to my other Mac which is running 10.5.8.
    Thanks

    I'm having the question for an network attached storage via webdav.
    On other forums I learned you can put indexing on/off with mdutil, eg.:
    mdutil -i on /Volumes/webdav
    Unfortunatly, it doesn't work for me. Indexing is still disabled.
    Hope this command works for you.

  • ITunes Library locked - Nas drive

    Hello,
    Heres my situation
    I have an iMac at home and I recently purchased a Synology DS412+ NAS drive.
    I have created an iTunes library on the Synlology drive. Everythings been working reletively well. However I am now getting this errorr as soon as I load up iTiunes.
    The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permision for this file.
    I got this error after a cold boot after the last thing I did which was to use Terminal to force index on that drive.
    jonathans-imac:~ Phoenix$ sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/music
    /Volumes/music:
              Indexing enabled.
    I have connected to the Synology via the Go, Connect to server command
    afp://DiskStation._afpovertcp._tcp.local
    Signed in with the login credentials that have full read/write access on the Synology.
    Can someone please assist me on what I am doing wrong as this is really ruining my Mac experience and I almost renders the point of my Synology pointless.

    All you need to do... if it's not too late... is click on the Synology icon in the upper left hand side of the menu bar (the icon with the four shapes in it).  This will open a dropdown menu.  At the bottom of this menu choose "restart".  This will shut down your Synology NAS and reboot it.  Everything should be fine after the reboot.

  • TM Alternative allowing NAS Drive Backup

    I have a Buffallo T-byte NAS drive and would like to use it for backups. TM does not backup to NAS drives.
    Is there an alternative to TM that allows backups to NAS drive, preferably one that does disk imaging?

    This article describes how to get TM work with NAS units (ReadyNAS) - I am currently running this configuration and it works like a charm on wireless. Highly recommended - you just have to modify parts of it for other makes of NAS but on the Mac side you should be fine.
    Follow the instructions carefully - it's easy to get ahead of yourself.

    Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS
    April 20, 2008 by yoh-dah
    Filed under Mac Corner
    Leave a Comment
    The following is a summary of how to make Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS by DavidB based on initial contribution by btaroli and refinements by sirozha and a host of others on the ReadyNAS Mac/OSX Forum. We are thankful of the Mac enthusiasts who frequent and contribute to the ReadyNAS forum.
    Ok I’ve just converted a second machine to use the NAS for networked Time Machine backups, and this time things went straight through without any mistakes. Here’s the run-down:
    This example was done using a Mac Mini with a hostname of “magpie”, running OS X 10.5.2 and connected via 802.11g to a ReadyNAS NV+ (RAIDiator 4.01c1-p1 [1.00a041] with AFP patch loaded). I’ve created separate AFP shares for each machine (”TMmagpie” in this case) and set them to be accessible just to the “owner” of the machine. I could have set up one share to contain Time Machine backups for all clients, but then it could be possible for a user to access someone else’s private data within the backups.
    Do make sure to keep the hostname simple — i.e. don’t have quotes in it like “Maggie’s Mac”, or the process will fail.
    With the share set up on the NAS already, everything else we do is local to the client (magpie in this case). Some of the commands I list here are run within Terminal.app, although there are alternate (GUI) ways of accessing some of the functions.
    This machine had previously been doing Time Machine backups to a local Firewire disk, and part of the process outlined here is to copy the contents of that disk to the NAS so that further backups build on top of the existing ones. No need to throw away the old backups!
    1. In System Preferences, turn Time Machine off.
    2. Find the MAC address of the machine’s internal Ethernet port:
    $ ifconfig en0 | grep ether
    This should produce a single line of output, such as:
    ether 00:16:cb:af:91:d7
    Even if the network backups will be done using a different port (e.g. AirPort: usually “en1″) the system will use the address of en0 as part of the system identifier.
    In this case the identifier that Time Machine will use is “magpie_0016cbaf91d7″.
    3. Make a new “sparsebundle” on a local disk (NOT the Time Machine disk!). This sparsebundle is a virtual filesystem image which we’ll copy to the NAS, and Time Machine will then access it remotely (that way Time Machine’s not limited by the filesystem features of whatever NAS it’s using: all the funky stuff happens within the sparsebundle). By default sparsebundles can keep growing until they fill up the NAS, but in this scenario we keep other things on the NAS as well as backups, and we’re going to limit the sparsebundle size to 140 GB. We called this one “Backup of magpie” as that’s the default name created by Time Machine, but in fact you can call the volume anything you like.
    $ hdiutil create -size 140g -fs HFS+J -volname "Backup of magpie" magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle
    created: /Users/david/magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle $
    This Mac Mini hasn’t had things like developer tools loaded: hdiutil comes with the OS. We make the sparsebundle manually so we can impose the size limit, and we do it on a local disk because of a bug that prevents creation of a sparsebundle remotely on the NAS (although they can be used when in place). The sparsebundle doesn’t start at 140 GB: it grows as more data is put in the filesystem inside it, up to a maximum of 140 GB.
    4. If you’re not going to copy the contents of an existing Time Machine disk, skip ahead to step 9.
    5. Mount the sparsebundle:
    $ open magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle
    You’ll see “Backup of magpie” appear as a mounted volume in Finder.
    6. Copy the old Time Machine backups to the sparsebundle. In Disk Utility:
    Click on Time Machine disk on the left panel, then select the “Restore” tab:
    1. Drag the local Time Machine volume to the Source field
    2. Drag the sparsebundle volume (”Backup of magpie”) to the Destination field
    3. Select “Erase destination” (possibly not mandatory)
    4. Restore
    This will take a while, depending on how much data is on the drive…
    7. If you selected “Erase destination” in Disk Utility, the volume name will have been copied from the local Time Machine disk. Rename the new volume back to “Backup of magpie” (or whatever name you chose).
    8. Unmount (”eject”) the sparsebundle volume.
    9. Mount the NAS share the sparsebundle will be mounted on (”TMmagpie” in this case). I mount all our shares via AFP, but you can presumably use CIFS also. Once it’s mounted, it will be accessible within Terminal.app as /Volumes/TMmagpie.
    10. Copy the sparsebundle to the share:
    $ rsync -avE /Users/david/magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle /Volumes/TMmagpie/.
    Depending on your network (802.11g, 802.11n, 100bT, 1000bT, etc) this can take a long time!
    rsync is smart enough to only copy the new bits of a file, so you can stop and re-run that command if necessary without re-copying everything.
    In the meantime you can go ahead and use the machine. Just don’t turn Time Machine backups back on yet.
    11. If the local copy of the sparsebundle is in an area that will be backed up by Time Machine, remove it before proceeding. We don’t want to double the size of the Time Machine backup for no good reason!
    12. In the Time Machine System Preferences panel, select “Change Disk…”. It will display a list of volumes you can backup to. If the share containing the sparsebundle isn’t listed (you did mount it, right?) it’s probably because it’s not mounted from a Time Capsule or another OS X machine. To show the share in this display you’ll need to have executed the following command in Terminal:
    $ defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
    You’ll need to log out and in again for this to have effect (select “Log Out” from the Apple menu: you can Restart, but logging out will do). Now mount TMmagie again, then try Time Machine’s “Change Disk…” again.
    13. Select the share on the NAS (”TMmagpie”) as the new destination for Time Machine backups.
    Time Machine will automatically turn itself back on and schedule a backup to begin in two minutes. If you didn’t populate the sparsebundle with the contents of a local disk, this first backup will be a full backup and can take a very long time (depending on things like your network infrastructure). If you did pre-populate the sparsebundle, this backup will be an incremental backup and shouldn’t take long at all (depending on how much has changed on the machine since you turned Time Machine off in Step 1 of course).
    Once the backup has started, keep going with the remaining steps in this list while the backup is running.
    14. You can now eject the TMmagpie share. Time Machine will automatically mount the sparsebundle file directly (during backups you’ll see “Backup of magpie” mounted).
    15. Unfortunately Spotlight will try to index the contents on the “Backup of magpie” share, which will slow down the backups significantly. To avoid this, as soon as the share is mounted for the first time go to Spotlight’s Privacy panel in System Preferences. Use the ‘+’ button at the bottom, select the “Backup of magpie” share, and Spotlight will then ignore it. If Spotlight has already started indexing it, it should immediately stop and the backup will speed up.
    That’s it. Congratulations! New Time Machine backups should happen every hour, and you can access all the backup files via the usual Time Machine interface.With magpie this has allowed us to disconnect the local 200G Firewire disk previously used for Time Machine backups: this drive was significantly noisier than the Mac Mini itself!
    GOOD LUCK!

  • Ripping tracks from a CD do not show up on my NAS drive

    I have an IOMEGA IX200 1TB NAS for backup and an IOMEGA 1TB Media Player that I have transferred my Itunes library to for storage and playing music. I have checked the setting to move all imported songs to the Itunes library located on my IOMEGA Media player that is attached to my home network. Purchased songs from Itunes store will be inserted into the NAS Media drive, but I rip songs from a CD, they will not be placed there, I can't find them anyplace. My IOMEGA IX200 NAS drive that i use for backups is lasted as 'shared' on my Itunes window, but
    my IOMEGA Media NAS drive is not. Should the Media player be listed as shared?
    Why do Itunes bought songs get placed in the proper place but not CD ripped songs? Has anyone else had success transferring all the Itunes music to an external storage drive on their home network?

    Can you see the CD ripped songs in iTunes itself? Can you then right-click and select "Show in Windows Explorer"?

  • Purchased TV and Movie artwork not showing in iTunes 10.6.1 when stored on a NAS drive

    Hi All
    Having searched through the forums here and using Google to cast a wider net.
    I am still struggling to see if there is a solution to the missing artwork of TV programmes or films missing when stored on a NAS drive.  All the TV programmes and movies have been purchased through the iTunes store.
    The version of iTunes being used is the most recent (10.6.1).
    The network drive is hardwired linked to the AirPort Extreme Base Station, this base station is also hardwire linked to the iMac.  The iTunes library resides upon a DROBO FS and has done since it filled the storage capabilities of the iMac.
    TV and Films purchased before the migration of the library has the artwork, it is just films and programmes purchased since the migration that don't.
    Clicking "Get Album Artwork" has no effect, the same is also true for manually adding the artwork to each episode through the "Get Info" "Artwork" option.  Although the "Get Info" route teases you with an apparent result only to have the artwork "vanish" when you save.
    I have seen a solution that involves remapping the iTunes library to the iMac each time you want to download a TV programme or film and then remounting the NAS drive and consolidating the library again, http://www.online-tech-tips.com/mac-os-x/fix-missing-album-art-when-using-a-nas- with-itunes/
    This doesn't strike me as much of a solution and doesn't address the TV programmes and films that have already been downloaded.
    I am hoping someone in the community is aware of a solution or at least method that is a little more elegant than the one linked to above.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    The Apple TV 1 doesn't use homesharing.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • ITunes, Apple TV, a NAS drive and Time Capsule - an idiot's guide

    Hi,
    I really need some help, and even though I know the information is already on the web, I just need someone to tell me what to do in my circumstance.
    I have a new Macbook with 250GB hard drive which is now almost full! I have an Apple TV box which is also almost full. I have a 320GB Iomega NAS which is not almost full as I haven't really used it properly and I have just got a 1TB Time Capsule as I'm petrified of losing everything!
    I have just over 175GB of music and films/tv programmes. I have also just finished making sure all the album artwork is correct (I know - very sad!).
    Currently the entire library is on my Macbook. I backed it up to the NAS drive (although I did it via a USB connection rather than over my home network).
    With only about 23GB of space left on my Macbook I decided the time was right to use the NAS properly. (I only really want to use the Time Capsule as a back up, although I guess there is probably a problem there as well if I move everything of importance (i.e. the music and films) to the NAS but lets leave that one for the time being.
    Basically what I want to know is how to use itunes with the NAS so that the music and films etc are stored on the NAS but not the rest of the information (the itunes database and album art folders).
    I tried it before and it kind of worked but the first time it update the library file and having just sorted out all the album artwork I don't want to have to do it again.
    I should say that I am the only one in the house who uses itunes, my laptop, am the only one with an ipod and iphone, so there is no issue with someone sharing the library or anything like that.
    So, question 1 - how do I set up itunes to work with the NAS.
    Question 2 - in doing so, will I have to correct all the artwork again?
    Question 3 - if all the music etc is on the NAS, how do I back it up to the Time Capsule?
    A more complicated question is can I keep the music on my laptop and films/tv programmes on the NAS?
    Will all of this make the Apple TV box stop working?
    Finally, I have already found an apple script which automounts the NAS and then starts itunes as I have read that that can cause a problem.
    Thanks for any/all your help.
    Anthony

    There isn't a solution, the Apple TV will only read your iTunes library if iTunes is running and will only play content through iTunes.

  • Cannot delete file on NAS Drive

    Hello,
    I was creating a backup of the program VLC on my NAS drive. When copying the file to the drive, it gave an error (which I now cannot recall completely... something about cannot copy certain files). When I went to try and delete the corrupted file, it gave me error: "the operation cannot be completed because the item "lib" is in use". I've tried a lot to delete:
    -restart computer/NAS drive
    -try to delete on another MAC
    -try to delete on Windows
    -hold option delete, ****, command, etc.
    Nothing seems to work. How can I delete this file? Thanks!

    What your going to need to do is c boot and install OS X (10.6) from the disk, onto a blank external drive (format the drive first in Disk Utility: GUID OS X Extended (J))
    Once 10.6 is installed, hold the option key and boot from the 10.6 external drive, go through setup with your same user name, and Software Update to 10.6.8
    Then download and install DataRescue  ($99) onto the external 10.6 drive and attach another blank external GUID OS X extended formatted drive and run DataRescue to recover your files to that drive. There will be a lot.
    Data Rescue will read the 1's and 0's of the files themselves regardless of what your partition map says, before they are overwritten.
    After that's done, access the second external drive and pick though the files to recover.
    Once you have gotten all your data, you need to install all your third party programs on the external drive from original sources and update. Then move your files you've recovered to it.
    Once that' is all done, erase one drive and download Winclone, and clone the Bootcamp Windows to the empty drive.
    Then use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero the entire internal drive of all partitions and everything. (select the drive makers name and size on the far left) Format GUID OS x Extended Journaled like always.
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 10.6.8 external drive to the internal drive, disconnect the external drive and boot from the internal drive and then install Lion on the internal drive. You can hold option key, click on Purchases to download Lion again.
    Use Bootcamp to set up Windows partition, then follow Winclones directions to clone Windows back into the Bootcamp partition.

  • I want to stream media from a NAS drive connected to my Time Capsule.

    I recently bought the Time Capsule to serve as my backup and my wireless router.  Both of my Macs are now using it via Time Machine.  I now want to move my large ITunes and IPhoto databases from an external hard drive on one Mac to a network drive where I can stream/view from either Mac.  What is the best way to do this? 
    1.  Buy a NAS drive with just ethernet and connect to one of the three port on the Time Capsule?  If so, what is the best drive to buy?
    2.  Use a USB drive and attack to the USP port on the Time Capsule?  If so, will any USB drive work?
    3.  Other?

    i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. i'm very happy with performance.
    have a look at this discussion.
    as for iPhoto, all i have is a link to a recent discuss over atthe Apple TV forum but don't know how relevant it is: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15366429#15366429
    2.  Use a USB drive and attack to the USP port on the Time Capsule?  If so, will any USB drive work?
    as long as the drive is properly formatted, yes. you may need to use a powered USB hub. the USB connection may or may not be a bottleneck as compared to full gigabit speed of the NAS.

  • NAS drives grayed out and can't connect to other Macs

    Hello All,
    After upgrading my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9 13A603) my NAS storage drives are grayed out in Finder. I can't go directly to my NAS drive in Finder. I can't simply click on the NAS drives in Finder and see what is in the directory. The directories are grayed out!.
    In order for me to connect to my NAS stotage drive I have to go to "DEVICES" on the leftside of the Finder window and then click on the MacBook Pro HD. From there I have to click on "Network." From "Network" I can get a slow connection to my NAS.
    As for as connection to other Macs in my office, I have to take the same steps above. I can't connect directly to the other Macs in my office in Finder. Nether can the other Macs connect to other Macs! All Macs in the office are set up to allow both AFP and SMB. However, one lonely 2009 iMac in our office is still on Mountian Lion and it can connect to other Macs and the our NAS without problems.
    One strange things this, I can do a Screen Share to the other Macs from my 2010 MacBook Pro! I can't connect directly in Finder, but I can do a Screen Share. Strange!
    Is there a fix for this or was Marverick let out the jungle to earily?
    Help! and Thanks!

    I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

  • I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

    I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives?  So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

  • How can I improve NFSv3 file performance with MythTV thru a NAS Drive?

    Basically, I have both my MythTV combined frontend/backend machine and a NAS Drive connected via gigabit ethernet connections.
    The NAS drive stores my recordings, shared via NFSv3 (because that's all the NAS drive came with, unfortunatly).
    Now, my problem is that I can record or watch multiple *seperate* HD files simultaneously, travelling back and forth from the NAS without problem.
    However when I try to watch the same file *While it's still being recorded*, after around 20 minutes the network connection is full/overloaded (between the mythserver and the NAS drive) and playback grinds to a halt (It doesn't stop the recording, just the playback).
    It used to happen much quicker when I was only using a 100mb connection.
    As i've said, this doesn't happen at ALL with seperate files, just only if i watch the *same* file that's being recorded at the same time.
    Is there anyway (bar just having the recordings on a Hard Drive within my backend) that I can stop this problem? Is it because I use NFSv3 on the NAS drive? are there any options I can change in the /etc/exports file on the NAS drive that would help? Thanks
    If you want me to post what my NAS drive (Readynas Duo V2) has in its /etc/exports file, I will

    Post the file but I dunno how many Archer are using NFSv3... ;/
