The Problem

I ran into an problem with 10.8.4, where the Time Machine stalls at 114MB and just won't continue backing up.

Analysis

The system.log shows

9/21/13 11:38:21.198 AM com.apple.backupd[33321]: Waiting for index to be ready (100)

And there it stood waiting for more than two hours. This couldn't be right.


Solution

WroDos-MacBook-Air:~ appleadmin$ sudo mdutil -E -a[1]
/:
	Indexing enabled. 
/.MobileBackups:
	Indexing enabled. 
/Volumes/MobileBackups 1:
	Index is read-only.
/Volumes/MobileBackups 1/Backups.backupdb:
	Index is read-only.
/Volumes/Time Machine Backup Of MacBook Air:
	Indexing enabled. 
/Volumes/Time Machine Backup Of MacBook Air/Backups.backupdb:
	Indexing enabled. 
WroDos-MacBook-Air:~ appleadmin$
