The sniffer is a simple helper process, activated as a DBus service, that tries to crawl as many files as possible in the provided target directory (i.e. the new mount's root), for a maximum amount of time - which is set here to 1.5 seconds (i.e. it will crawl either all the files in the directory tree, or as many as it can before the specified timeout expires). Crawled files are ordered by their content type, and a generic estimation of the type of files composing the directory is returned to the caller, using generic 'x-content/*' mimetypes. The process will then set an autoquit timeout on itself, which can be disabled by setting the env variable HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_PERSIST for debugging purposes. The HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_DEBUG env variable can also be set to enable debugging output. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653520
