getattrlist(2) and Spotlight indexing status

Subject: getattrlist(2) and Spotlight indexing status

Hi,

I'm developing a VFS plugin, and I want Spotlight to index volumes of
my filesystem type. When I ran mdutil over a mount point:
sudo mdutil -s /Volumes/lei
       Error: Could not get indexing status for volume.

I tried both fs_usage and ktrace/kdump and found that 'mdutil' jumped
to that conclusion after:
565 mdutil   NAMI  "/Volumes/lei"
565 mdutil   RET   getattrlist -1 errno 13 Permission denied
565 mdutil   GIO   fd 1 wrote 50 bytes
      "        Error: Could not get indexing status for volume.
      "

And it didn't even look under  /Volumes/lei/.Spotlight-V100.

I read getattrlist manual but couldn't find anything about Spotlight.
It seemed that some volume attribute had something to do with the
indexing status.

So how do I make my volume indexable to Spotlight?

Any hint/suggestion is appreciated.


Thanks,
Isaac
