    What happens if you index smaller amounts - does it freeze?



    Sheer volume might be causing it to choke. I have heard of file transfers in the finder becoming clogged and stopping. Problem was solved by using the terminal to do this.



    Do you know if there is a terminal command for indexing???



    I personally never index as it seems to take fooorrreeeevvvvaaaaa....
