FWIW I have never seen NTFS mount points appear in .baloofilerc in "exclude
folders" or "Do not search in these locations". But I don't add them under my
home folder.
To access and index my Windows files on a dual-boot machine, I:
1. Mount my Windows 10 NTFS partition. My ancient /etc/fstab line is
UUID=F402E20B02E1D2A2 /media/Windows ntfs-3g
defaults,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
2. Make symlinks in my home folder for subdirectories I want to point to NTFS,
e.g. $HOME/Pictures to /media/Windows/Users/spage/Pictures ,
$HOME/Documents/Win10 to /media/Windows/Users/spage/My\ Documents/ , etc.
3. Baloo does not follow these symlinks when indexing my home directory, so I
explicitly tell Baloo to index specific paths on the NTFS drive by changing the
line under [General] in $HOME/.config/baloofilerc to:
folders[$e]=$HOME/,/media/Windows/Users/spage/Desktop/,/media/Windows/Users/spage/Documents/,/media/Windows/Users/spage/Downloads/,
etc. etc.
that has worked fairly well for me and I mention the technique in
https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Configuration#Include_Folders . If there are
issues and other workarounds with NTFS disks and UUIDs please document them on
that page (or tell me and I will try).
