Does that mean that Baloo saw two different device numbers (32 and 33)?

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.
