I don't remember it asking for a password when I entered the commands so I don't think I used sudo. Would it do nothing, or complaint that I didn't have rights, if sudo was needed but forgotten?
Unless sudo is a once-per-session thing, because I've a feeling I had used it earlier on.
I wonder if I can tell Spotlight not to index the USB drive I'm about to plug in :-)
Presumably one can disable spotlight, plug the drive in, tell spotlight not to index that specific drive, then switch spotlight back on again.
Although I remain concened about the machine-won't-boot-with-drive-plugged-in scenario.
One quite elegant way round this might be to replace the Mini's internal drive. Is it SATA, do you know? Cos I've a half terrabyte SATA drive sitting here...
