Re: [SOLVED] Updating the MIME type database is too slow

The cause is that /usr/bin/update-mime-databse in new shared-mime-info runs fdatasync() after writing each file. [1] If you are ABSOLUTELY sure that no power failure will occur during the process, you can create a file /etc/pacman.d/hooks/update-mime-database.hook

[Trigger]
Type = Path
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Remove
Target = usr/share/mime/packages/*.xml

[Action]
Description = Updating the MIME type database...
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/env PKGSYSTEM_ENABLE_FSYNC=0 /usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

It turns out to be a regression in package shared-mime-info. I created https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66687 for that.
