Macos Ventura search issue on external volues.

After upgrading to Ventura on my MacBook Pro, the search on external drives stopped working. I have already tried changing Spotlight privacy and forced indexing via terminal, but without success.

Here the result:

sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/myvolume
/System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/myvolume:
Error: unable to perform operation.  (-403)
	Server search enabled.

Anyone have the same problem?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3
