To everyone: please file new bugs rather than adding to bug reports that have been closed for more than a year.
Cederic: your specific problem sounds a lot like bug 1436110, which was fixed in the 20150604 build. To others: mediascanner2 was a pretty young code base during the 14.04 time frame, and we haven't done any back ports since then. It is not a dependency of the base desktop, so it is probably easiest to just uninstall it there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mediascanner2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294303 Title: Mediascanner-service-2 process is killing HD and consumes lot of CPU Status in mediascanner2: Fix Released Status in mediascanner2 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I just connected external USB harddrive, when mediascanner-service-2 start scanning (?) over 15 min - even after unplug USB HD.
