Work around for following issue:

Run sudo mdutil -a -i off
  sudo mdutil -a -i off
  sudo mdutil -X /
  sudo launchctl bootout system /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
  shell: /bin/bash -e {0}
4 files/directories removed
Boot-out failed: 5: Input/output error

This can happen if spotlight has already been disabled.
