Both are sufficient for being able to verify that the path is mounted.

Device ids are not stable. For the home partition it works somewhat reliable as the device setup is sufficiently fixed, but for any network share, Vault, disk image, whatever, it depends on the mounting order. > > > >> I will keep opposing any changes trying to paper over it. > > I have not had a problem with mounted external volumes. FYI, complain to the Solid people about the non-randomness of the udi. That isn't a fault of Baloo. You clearly lack understanding of the problem. This is not about solid UDIs, but about device ids provided by the kernel (man 7 inode) . Complain to the Linux folks!?
