[Bug 1398614] Re: mediascanner-service-2.0 using large amounts of CPU

 

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.
