Public bug reported: After upgrading my machines to Trusty, I have noticed that when I install packages, the disk thrashes very hard while the command "update- mime-database.real /usr/share/mime" is running. Watching the disk activity with atop, I see that the process is reading from the disk at a rate of about 200 KB/sec, and writing at about half that rate. I can hear the disk head jumping back and forth as fast as possible.
This didn't happen in the past. Something has changed, and it's not good. ** Affects: shared-mime-info (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to shared-mime-info in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320403 Title: update-mime-database thrashes hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shared-mime-info/+bug/1320403/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
