Baloo, BTRFS, Reindexing Snapshots

General system Newbie
1

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I always prefer to consult the experts.

We all know about the issue of getting multiple search results all pointing to the same file as Baloo indexes snapshots.

As @dalto in another thread suggested I discuss this on the KDE forums, I actually did here https://discuss.kde.org/t/baloo-btrfs-reindexing-sanpshots/18989/1

I could conclude that it will work fine if I just get Baloo to exclude /home/.snapshots/ from being indexed.
What is your current experience or points of view.
What do you think?

2

The excludes feature is there for a reason for some applications, make use of them if needed.

Thanks @Cphusion for the prompt reply.
So I can just add a rule to the ballo config file to exclude hidden folders and specificall the snapshot folder.
This way Baloo will play nice and wont keep reindexing snapshots. Did I get it right?

4

If the exclude feature works correctly and doesnโ€™t have any bugs then yes.

Then I will do it โ€œagainโ€ now and do a fresh install with BTRFS, then install Sanpper and the wonderful BTRFS Assistant of @dalto that I have enjoyed.

Just FYI, I will install with Grub :scream: and do a hook to handle it in case there are updates so it wonโ€™t break.

See you soon in my Grub, BTRFS system! Hopefully it will work flawlessly.

Any other suggestions/recommendations would be highly appreciated.

6

Why do you need a fresh install if you already have a running system with btrfs or are you using another filesystem now?

I just installed with the defaults (EXT4). Following defaults is my rule of thumb, but sometimes I break the rules!

I better do a fresh install than just converting to BTRFS and I will chose Grub. It might be easier for an old lazy man like me.
Update:
Currently doing a fresh install, BTRFS and Grubโ€‹:scream:
Hopefully after all he attempts and discussins here I will get everything working as it should be without issues.
Update 2:
Done!

Now, editing the Baloo config file.
Is this OK and will exclude indexing snapshots by Snapper and exclude all hidden files and folders?

exclude filters version=9
exclude=/var/lib/snapshots/
exclude=.*/*
exclude=/home/.*/
exclude=/home/.snapshots/
exclude=/.snapshots

Now, back to the Grub update hook (file grub_update.hook), Will copy it to folder /etc/pacman.d/hooks as previously discussed at Grub Hook to grub-install and grub-mkconfig?

[Trigger]
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade

Type = Package
Target = grub

[Action]
Description = Re-generate Grub if Updated
When = PostTransaction
Depends = grub
Exec = /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/grub-install && /usr/bin/grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"

Now as per @dalto instructions at Coming From Manjaro to EndeavourOS [Installation advice for BTRFS + Snapper + Btrfs Assistant] - #2 by dalto I did:

Then rebooting as I had an update and new kernel.

I just created a config called root in BTRFS Assistant as per Btrfs Assistant 1.0 is coming, testers needed - #275 by limotux

Just in case I thought and did:

sudo pacman -S cronie
sudo systemctl enable cronie.service --now

I really appreciate your patience and support.

I hope its done now. I just had one more question to be sure everything will be ok her in this thread Configuring BTRFS Assistant

I hope to hear from the experts what they think or suggest. Better in the thread above as this is supposed to be the final regarding this topic.

I will report back how things are going.
