Mounting or unmounting a USB disk triggers a full MiniDLNA re-scan

When I plug in a second USB disk, why does MiniDLNA try to re-scan the entire media folder? It does the same thing when I un-mount a USB disk. A friend has over 3000 movies and this is a problem.

OK, here is the fix. However, wait until MiniDLNA completes the re-scan, so the database will be complete. This prevents the MiniDLNA from rebuilding the database every time it starts up.
Code:
nvram set dms_rescan=0 && nvram commit && service restart_dms

This changes it back to the factory setting:
Code:
nvram set dms_rescan=1 && nvram commit && service restart_dms
