Every time I plug in my external 1TB HDD this process consumes up to
101.8%(!) of my CPU and prevents me from doing anything on the computer
unless I physically turn off the HDD.  I thought that after its first
scan data is cached? Instead, the issue appears to be ongoing for me.
I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.10 LTS and I haven't purged the package
since I use the Ubuntu SDK and apparently the "mediascanner-service"
package is a dependency?  Absolutely abominable programming, whoever
released this into the wild needs to be spoken to, urgently.
