Haywire mds/mdworker in 10.8 GM?

[ImperialX]

Hey guys, not sure if any of you are experiencing this, but I'm updated to the 10.8 GM and my mds and mdworker are using up a heck of a lot of CPU. The fan also gets really loud at times randomly. I thought Spotlight may have been indexing from the upgrade, but this has been going on for almost 24 hours already. I encountered this problem with DP4 as well, so I went back to Lion. Not too happy the GM still hasn't fixed this problem.

Anyone seeing the same thing?

I disabled Spotlight by typing in "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist" in the terminal, and that fixed the problem, but I feel that this is unacceptable as a GM product.

Check your Console and see if it's getting hung up on a file.

I'm having the same issue here (MBP Mid 2010).

PurBall What do you mean by "getting hung up on a file" ?

I had the same issue numerous times on Snow Leopard.
Spotlight indexing never takes very long nor runs full speed. If there is something wrong it is usually quite obvious and I always simple force quit mdsworker. It respawns on its own and usually stays quiet for a while. Sometimes I have to kill it 2-3 times.
Never was necessary to totally unload spotlight.
