Actually, that's looking at the source file system on my Mac mini server
running High Sierra. This volume is being shared to other computers on
the network.

Very interesting. I have two machines running Snow Leopard here at the

Do you have any other machines you can mount the shared volume on to see
if Spotlight searches work there?
