In order for this to work, you will need to have clients mounting the
indexed volume, also making sure that the users have the same access
rights as the indexer for the documents and folders they are tring to view.

Without being unsupported, indexing of mounted volumes is not the best
possible avenue, given that depending on the file system of the foreign
volume some information may be incomplete or missing. This is precisely
why we've developed FoxTrot Server: to be able to index and answer
queries from the file server machine itself. Another benefit is
performance, since you would not be extracting text for indexing across
the network but locally.
This being said, there may well be room for improvement of indexing
external volumes, we do not have a vast enough knowledge (yet) of all
file system configurations and cases in that scenario.
