  AFAICT this is not clear at the moment. This is too bad it stumbles upon a new contributor to deal with it.
  I recently learned about QStorageInfo that covers the same use case as KMountPoint.

  We should avoid absolutely avoid that, this is far worse than saving 1 syscall per thumbnail.
  
  And after a second though a sysall is not much given we are generating a thumbnail that will be far longer to compute, so the price of the syscall should be unnoticeable.
