+ <title>Error when scanning</title>
+
+ <p>When scanning you might see a message <gui>Could not scan /… or some of the
+ folders it contains</gui> at the top of <app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> window.
+ This error appears because you don't have the required permissions to access
+ some files due to restrictions set on the target system. The files you can't
+ access won't be used to compute the <link xref="views">chart</link>
+ representing the disk usage, hence the result reported may be wrong.</p>
+
+ <p>Not having access to all files and directories is perfectly common thought
+ so there is nothing you can do about this error.</p>
+
+ <note style="info"><p><app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> uses command
+ <cmd>du</cmd> to create the detailled view of the use of storage, and needs
+ you have read permission on files and execute permission of directories.</p>
+
+ <p>On the other hand, filesystem disk usage on the use command <cmd>df</cmd>
+ for disk utilisation on the main window which relies on the filesystem and not
+ on file permissions.</p></note>

+ <title>Scanning is slow</title>
+
+ <p>The speed required to scan a folder or a remote location depends on the
+ speed of the media you're scanning. For instance a mechanical hard drive will
+ be slower than a SSD, and scanning a remote directory over Internet will
+ generally take longer than scanning a folder over a local network.</p>
+
+ <p>The speed also depends on the depth of the directory structure and the
+ number of files stored.</p>
