This should only happen once: the first time you insert the drive. It might happen again if you unplug the disk before scanning is finished. After the first scan the results are cached and further connections should be fast again.
If you wish to prevent Mediascanner from scanning your external drive, place a file called .nomedia in the root dir of your drive and it won't be scanned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398614 Title: mediascanner-service-2.0 using large amounts of CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner2/+bug/1398614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
