What is baloo_file_extractor and why is it humping my hard drive?

[Luiz Felipe Talvik]

It is KDE's new file indexer.
In yours installation you seem to have the old settings interface and the
new file indexer. I've upgraded to 4.13 in Kubuntu and the Nepomuk search
settings was replaced.

You can disable baloo editing: "~/.kde/share/config/baloofilerc"
Change "Indexing-Enabled=false" to "Indexing-Enabled=true"

Everything about these services are too intrusive. I wish I could upgrade
mysql without having to remove kde from my system.

Hello.

I just updated to KDE 4.13. As soon as I logged in, a windows popped up
saying some kind of "File Watcher" needs my root password. I typed that in.

Then, my hard disk was getting hit like no tomorrow. It's been over 20
minutes now and the disk is still getting hammered. System Activity says
it's the "baloon_file_extractor." I suspected some file indexing maybe, but
that can't be. I have all indexing disabled in System Settings:

What is happening?
