--- Comment #6 from robakjos...@gmail.com ---
UPDATE2: I have mostly good news and some bad news. The good news is that
excluding my ~/.steam and ~/.local/share/Steam folder seemed to resolve the
constant high load writing that I was seeing before.

The only bad news is that Baloo will still write to the disk frequently, and
alternates between indexing and idling indefinitely. Granted it's not anywhere
near as bad as before, but after disabling the indexing of hidden files and
folders, everything goes back to normal. No more random constant writing to the
disk at all. So it's probably another unknown that would need to be excluded.
If there's any additional folders I should blacklist, please let me know.
Otherwise, I am not as concerned about it since it doesn't look like a bug.

Nevertheless, I can't be absolutely sure if the main problem is a bug with
Baloo, or if Steam is just particularly bad for indexing. It certainly seems to
be in a loop whenever it happens though. So I will keep this report open for
the time being. I want to hear from others before I come to more of a
conclusion.
