Solid knows if a media is "removable" or "hot-pluggable" and we will use this 
information. Solid information is parsed, and then album roots are marked if 
they are available or not. Only available roots are scanned. 
It is crucial that images are not removed from db if the media is currently 
not mounted.

I cannot answer this at the moment.
