There have been several reboots and it may be that at a certain point the device number has been different, I just checked for the device number as I actually noticed Baloo was re-indexing files. So maybe the re-indexing was triggered by a different device number from a boot in between? I still think relying on the device number creates more problems than it solves. I hope you understand that I am not willing to change my setup dm-crypt with LUKS, LVM and then BTRFS (single) on top of it, to be able to guarantee a stable device number. I do think the device number is not supposed to be of relevance for any application and is not guaranteed to be stable in Linux, but I can certainly ask Linux kernel developers about their take on this. But maybe I misread the above output. Anyway, I hope it helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
