It makes no sense at all trying to index directories such
as /dev, /proc, and /sys (and more). I don't consider it worthwhile
debugging anything like this. Kernel filesystems may have slightly
different behavior and you really don't want to index files such
as /proc/self/mem.

I suggest you to fix your configuration and try again.
