My Time Machine backup (on OS X 10.7) was stuck on Waiting for index to be ready (100) for a long time (it kept logging this once every minute for 20 minutes). I ended up killing the mds process. I...
Oui, c'est un titre plutôt prétentieux étant donné que c'est la première fois que je réussis à installer une application Rails, et non, cela ne me dérange pas.
