[Kubuntu 11.10, KDE 4.7.4] I don't care much about Desktop Search, so I'd usually disable strigi/nepomuk completely. However, without it, kontact/kmail complains and doesn't want to work. So I enabled it and unchecked all and every Folder to index in Destop Query -> Customize Index Folders and told it to ignore removable media. Thus I'd expect that nepomuk and friends just sit there and don't do anything. Think again. On login/startup, virtuoso-t sets an inotify on every single file on my system and blocks the CPU(s) for about half an hour doing so. Further, as it also indexes NFS mounted folders, it tends to go haywire if later the network share is not available for some reason, again pegging out the CPU at 100% - this time until killed individually or on relogin/reboot. Then it sets the inotifies again. If nothing is checked in the list of folders to watch, then why are the inotifies set anyway? Reproducible: Always
I confirm, that unchecked folder get indexed. also on debian squeezy/testing KDE 4.8.4-3 ii libnepomuk4 4:4.8.4-3 Nepomuk Meta Data Library ii libnepomukquery4a 4:4.8.4-3 Nepomuk Query Library for the KDE Platform indexing a 100.000+ jpeg-files, which are not supposed to be indexed, and that with all the resource-consuming bugs is a severe misbehavior, especially, when kdepim does not work without nepomuk. it tends to render kdepim unusable. CATCH 22 - situation!

CATCH 22 - situation! Please file a separate bug report about Nepomuk indexing files which it is not supposed to index. Perhaps you could provide your nepomukstrigirc file, and cross check if that directory is actually in the ignore list or not in the index folders list? This bug report is about the filewatch service creating a large number of watches.
