It seems that I've missed this useful thread. I still use the old disable_spotlight script method on 10.4.3 and I'll do the steps described in this thread and won't use the script any more, as soon as possible.
Just before that, I suppose I should ask one thing. With the help of the disable_spotlight script when the backup disk mounted there is no indexing for backup drive, so far so good that's what I want it to be. But, if I startup from my backup disk, spotlight is starting to index (dot blinks). I first thought that was normal and Mac OS X re-enables the disabled indexing for the backup disk bacause it's the current startup disk. But I noticed that it also re-indexes my usual drive every time when I startup from my backup drive. Is this normal, will the new method prevent this from happening? |

That's normal, and it happens because the files "change location", from "/" to "/Volumes/your drive/..."
