mds repeatedly crashes, can't build Spotlight index
Hello,
I upgraded to Snow Leopard a few days ago and since then my machine is locked in an attempt to build the Spotlight index. First I thought this would just take a while and that I should be patient. But then I had a closer look at Console and found that mds repeatedly crashes and then starts all over again.
Below is an excerpt from the Console (I deleted some reoccurring messages to keep it short).
I started to notice the mds activity after I installed XCode 3.2.1 but that might be just a coincidence.
Also, out of curiousity, why is there an mdworker and an mdworker32 process?
Thanks much in advance for any insight,
schnapp
