You can try this out. It may still include .fsevents, .DocumentRevisions, .TemporaryItems and .Trashes. I kind of think it may be unavoidable to create certain file system structures when introducing a volume. The Spotlight stuff and the .ds_stores you can take care of though. Try these out and see if they help. Probably best in the order their given but I really can’t verify if it matters or not.

Prevent MDS from attempting to Index

1
sudo touch /Volumes/your volume name here/.metadata_never_index

Disable Indexing AND Searching of Volumes

1
sudo mdutil -i off -d /Volumes/your volume name here

Delete existing Spotlight Index

1
sudo rm -rfv /.Spotlight-V100

Disable creating ‘.ds_store’ on USB volumes

1
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores -bool true

Disable creating ‘.ds_store’ on network volumes

1
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true

Sorry if this makes your machine explode, implode, hack NORAD, “Friends” you with Justin Bieber or any other unexpected results.

关闭所有内置磁盘的 Spotlight 索引

sudo mdutil -a -i off

关闭外部硬盘的 Spotlight 索引

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SpotlightServer.plist ExternalVolumesIgnore -bool True

防止在网络驱动器上创建.DS_Store 文件

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE
