I have this: fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 1048576 This means over a million folders, which I doubt needs to be raised in my case. Nevertheless, I'll make sure that baloo is not somehow including my Timeshift backups under five snapshot folders in a partition which hosts my data folders as well (Documents, Pictures, etc.). Also, I think baloo should better notify user somehow it has faced such a limit and failed to index all files. I don't understand why baloo refuses to index files in a symlinked folder - at least when their content is not included. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
