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.
