[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1395535, member: 71075"] OS X certainly shares some of the same issues listed in the post. Scattered files, sandboxing and indexing all occur in OS X at various times. There are various applications that do this. Take a look at [URL="http://www.freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/"]AppCleaner[/URL] - it's free and does a decent job. It does have sandboxing built in but requires the user to write scripts. Regardless, the best practice is to avoid this kind of software in the first place. OS X runs daily, weekly and monthly maintenace but it wouldn't hurt to run [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=654a24ef4fd40281975a98f41201a391"]OnyX[/URL] once in a while as well. The only time I've seen this happening is when the Spotlight database needs to be created. This happens after a clean install and/or after OnyX deletes the database (if you choose to do that). It may also index external drives as well. Yes, this does happen. It happens across operating systems however. Yes, OS X copies files concurrently. There may be a way around this but I don't know of one. [/QUOTE]
