--- Comment #44 from Joachim Wagner <jwag...@computing.dcu.ie> --- > [...] home drive mounted with different > minor device numbers This phrasing is likely to cause confusion. Better to refer to the value `stat.st_dev` that is used by baloo and that does not have a "minor": * Block devices have major and minor device numbers that used to be 8 bits each but have been extended to a wider range about 15 years ago. These are stable across restarts for hard drive partitions but are allocated dynamically for device mapper devices, e.g. LUKS encryption layers. NVMe SSDs have been observed to receive a single major such that the minors of the second SSD and its partitions change (at next restart) when the number of partitions on the first SSD is modified. * Filesystems have a device number that some (single volume) filesystems derive from the device number and other filesystems, e.g. btrfs, set in some other way. They are supposed to be unique for each filesystem over the uptime of a system but may change at each restart. The stat() system call returns this value as `stat.st_dev`. Filesystems with subvolumes produce a different device number for each subvolume. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
