No it is not the case. In my case, symptoms worsened AFTER I disabled baloo, and restored system to a snapshot. And even when baloo was enabled, I was indexing /home/abad/Documents only. I was NOT indexing everything in my home folder.
I read it here ("emergency mode" after Timeshift snapshot recovery - #14 by andreas85) that “nowadays it is best to not have /boot as partition”. Some expert may please opine if this is so. I have
- sda1 —> 300mb — FAT32 — /boot/efi
- sda2 —> Balance (about 922.42GB) — BTRFS — Mounted on /, /home, /run/timeshift/backup, /var/cache, /var/log
- sda3 —> 8.8GB — Swap
I hope to make btrfs/timeshift work, but for the time being focused in restoring my laptop to a working state. Thanks.
