Comment 17 for bug 1398614

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.
