  <title>Disable scanning of individual storage devices and partitions</title>

  <p><app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> allows you to scan only the partitions and
  storage devices that you have selected in the <gui>Preferences</gui> dialog.
  By default, all devices and partitions are selected, but the application will
  store your preferences when you close it.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq></p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the storage devices and partitions that you want to scan, or
      deselect those that you do not wish to scan</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui>Close</gui> to save your preferences</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="bug">
    <p>The first item in the list, which is mounted on <file>/</file>, cannot be
    deselected</p>
