Considering some btrfs optimizations

Well, honestly I am not that techie, but I will just make a suggestion (taking the title of the topic). I hope BTRFS developers would consider.

The unfamous problem of BTRFS and Baloo always indexing snapshots. There are a few bugs filed with Baloo.

My question/suggestion is:
Why not let BTRFS give the user the option that BTRFS takes snapshots of only the file system not ‘/home’ to avoid that problem.

I am not that techie and I do not know if there is a way to avoid reindexing each snapshot of “/home”

This is the only thing preventing me from using BTRFS though I would love to. (some of my posts when I was on EOS a few months ago shows the hell of Baloo indexing all the time)

Sorry if I interrupted. I am just posting this because I love the concept of BTRFS and snapshots, while I love Baloo as I have lots of papers, research… books), but I can’t have them both!

Honestly I can’t tell if such issue should be filed as a bug with Baloo or with BTRFS, or both should cooperate to overcome this!

I tried system on BTRFS and “/home” on EXT4 but it didn’t work OK with me.
