Spotlight: Unable to index network SMB share I'm trying to turn on spotlight for my NAS drive. I have it mounted in OSX 10.8.2 as the following: 

 /Volumes/Trogdor (smbfs, nodev, nosuid, mounted by soltrain)


mdutil returns the following: 

mdutil -as (removed non relevent parts)
/Volumes/Trogdor:
    Indexing and searching disabled.


When I try to enable it I get the following: 

Noahs-MacBook-Air:~ soltrain$ mdutil -i on /Volumes/Trogdor/
                              /Volumes/Trogdor:
                                  Indexing and searching disabled.


I've looked for a .metadata_never_index file on /Volumes/Trogdor/ but do not see any such file. I've also added/removed the volume from the privacy preferences in the spotlight pref panel with no effect. Any ideas? I'd rather not use a separate util if spotlight should be working.
Try going to System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy, then adding in the share to the list not to index, then removing it again. It helped with a similar issue I had.
