Does tracker index FUSE volumes?

I have a pCloud drive and Gnome 3.38.

It is mounted twice (for testing purpose) under my home directory using the pCloud GUI application AND using rclone mount.

I have added both mount point ($HOME/pCloudDrive and $HOME/rclone) to tracker's configuration using dconf Editor (org/freedesktop/tracker/miner/files/index-recursive-directories).

After more than 24 hours, here is the output of tracker status :

    Currently indexed: 0 files, 0 folders
    
    Remaining space on database partition: 19.2?GB (40.31%)
    
    Data is still being indexed: Estimated less than one second left

And here is what tracker-miner-fs reports about an existing file on my pCloud drive :

    Data object “/home/ballama/rclone/Compta/LMETV/2014/ACH/14010010.pdf” currently exists
    
    File is eligible to be monitored (based on config)
    
    File is eligible to be mined (based on rules)
    
    
    Would be indexed: Yes
    
    Would be monitored: Yes

I have two questions.

Does tracker index FUSE drives ?
If the answer is YES, will it reindex it every time I unmount and mount it again ?

FYI, Spotlight (MacOS) has the ability to index FUSE volumes but they need to be mounted with allow_other and I haven't found a way to get pCloud client to do so. rclone mount has the option to pass allow_other.

Sounds like a good question to ask the pCloud people.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
