Continuous 'Service Exited in system log

Your EtreCheck report says yourMac is running fine. Do you have some other issue besides the log entries?

Sorry I don't understand.

more tonight it did not go out. After several minutes it turned itself off and on again with a kernel panic message

MyMacita, my reply was to Nour30 which is why it didn’t make any sense to you :)

Oh sorry:). ps please can you help me? even apple doesn't understand what my computer has

Big Sur 11.2.3 mac Mini M1

mdworker is floodings the system.log - day and night, 10 times a second...

How to stop?

Thanks, I do have a sluggish machine with lots of apparent looping so these messages are suspicious. I appreciate your response and will ignore this for now. Thanks.

What do you mean by "virtual disk" iCloud drive, Google Drive, and OneDrive are local folders that sync with "the cloud" via various syncing services. The only one I use is iCloud.

Hi there, I am monitoring my mac with sensor logs and kibana and noting this myself:

I am running 11.5.2 (20G95)

Could you help me to find the cause for this?

Your calm, reasonable advice is much appreciated!

after reading your post , I did the command below for each of my /Volumes/

mdutil -vEsa -i on -d /Volumes/Google\ Chrome/

mdutil -vEsa -i on -d /Volumes/VolumeName1

mdutil -vEsa -i on -d /Volumes/VolumeName1

issue seems to be resolved, will monitor for days though.

I had the same issue.

Disappeared after adding all disks to exclusion list of Spotlight.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716

They appeared again after removing my main disk (=SSD) from the list, which rebuilds the Spotlight index.

When rebuilding this message shows up (2x):

Aug 19 13:56:56 myserver mdsync[11877]: objc[11877]: Class MDSPathFilter is implemented in both /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Versions/A/Metadata and /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Versions/A/Support/mdsync. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

I tried a variety of suggestions and then went into the Spotlight Preferences and turned off all the checkboxes in the Search Results tab.

Now, instead of getting 5 of these per second in the System Log, I'm getting about 1 per minute.

Now I'm seeing another odd one.

error 15:36:38.154385-0700 mdworker_shared All kCFPreferencesCurrentUser domains in this process will be volatile, because homeDirPath starts with /var/empty

This is the 'quick fix' to this problem: Disable spotlight.

For me it's happening on a 10.14 Mac, it is introduced by installing the 2020-003 or 2020-004 security updates for at least 10.14+

Here is how to disable Spotlight:

1. Open Terminal
2. run: sudo mdutil -i off -a
3. type your password if requested.
4. you should see output like the following:

# sudo mdutil -i off -a
2020-09-14 11:48:43.091 mdutil[1010:20698] mdutil disabling Spotlight: / -> kMDConfigSearchLevelFSSearchOnly
        Indexing disabled.

To test and make sure indexing is off, try: sudo mdutil -s -a (-s is for "status" and -a means "show all drives")

it should also say Indexing Disabled as well.

Later on, when/if lazy Apple fixes this issue, you can re-enable indexing with sudo mdutil -i on -a

I'm having the same issue since Big Sur Developer Beta 7. I disabled Spotlight after disabling SIP by doing:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

The constant crashes did not allow to use mdutil to disable the Spotlight indexing.

I also submitted some feedback to Apple about it in FB8725224.
