It a bit less than obvious, but the issue for me was glimpse doing its
indexing.  This is controlled by a daily script "buildSearchIndex.pl".

What I did was create /etc/cron.never/ and move the script.

[root /etc]# mkdir cron.never
[root /etc]# mv cron.daily/buildSearchIndex.pl
cron.never/buildSearchIndex.pl

This doesn't "disable" glimpse, but it stops it from doing the thing which
causes grief.

Another alternative is to edit buildSearchIndex.pl to constrain what it
actually indexes.  If your Qube is being used as a fileserver then I think
its pretty pointless indexing all those Mac and Windows files as you can't
use the web interface to access the files anyway.

There is a line in buildSearchIndex.pl

# add directories to index below as needed (within quotes)

the next line is

my $gIndexDirs = '"/home/users" "/home/groups"';

I recommend changing it to

my $gIndexDirs = '"/home/groups/home"';

I keep all web stuff in /home/groups/home so its the only bit worth indexing
... doing all user and group files is a waste of resources.

Cheers,  Malcolm
