Spotlight is not indexing a secondary drive (non removable drive). I already checked the spotlight settings under system preferences, and did not see that drive marked as private. Under the disk utility, enable journaling is grayed out - so dont think thats the issue. Anyone have any ideas? My exact same configured Mac Pro that I have at home doesn't have this issue.

I guess no one knows. One advantage of running Ubuntu or even Windows. When you post on those forums, you get an answer right away. I guess this is one disadvantage of moving to the Mac - hardly anyone uses it. And even less people know how to trouble shoot Macs.

Actually, Ubuntu's marketshare is much smaller than the Mac's.
Anyway, try adding the drive to the Spotlight exclusion list and then removing it.

Give us something to look at. Like...
sudo ls -lo /Volumes{,/*/.Spotlight-V*}
sudo mdutil -s /Volumes/*
...for example.
Actually, mdutil has other options that should probably get things going.
(stop indexing, erase old index, start indexing, etc.)

Another possibility... this secondary drive isn't HFS+ format?
