Baloo File Indexing and BTRFS

I concur. Alternatively, because btrfs is super easy to resize:

  1. shrink the current partition
  2. make a new ext4 or xfs partition
  3. mount the new partition to /mnt
  4. move all the data from /home to /mnt
  5. mount the new partition as /home and add it to fstab.

For most users reinstalling is the easier option and has lower rate of data loss. But for a user that is comfy with command line and manually manipulating partition, this can be another alternative. Optimal partition sizes necessitate moving the data to another drive anyway, because you don’t really need more than 20-50Gb for the / partition, and the described libraries do not fit in such a small space.
