If observed inodes change on each restart/remount then Baloo is not the right
tool for the job :-/

It *should* be that Baloo digs down and finds the Filesystem ID rather than
device number.  It used to use device numbers and that's what caused the
trouble with BTRFS, that was patched a while back.

Indexing ought to be done local to the data and a client do the query over the
net. That's a utopian ideal though.

You could also try recoll which gives a wide range of controls that Baloo holds
in the background.
