Did you already try to add your thumb drive to the /etc/fstab as fixed mount?
Do you have another USB drive connected?

At least I don't have such problem you've described and this is something I remember what I did. So it could be worth a try. But if it's the solution, I don't know.
My fstab looks like this. So the line with sda2 could be interesting:
Code:
root@xbian ~ # more /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime,nodiratime,sync 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,async 0 0
UUID=DA205B73205B559B /mnt/hdd ntfs-3g defaults,noatime,nodiratime,async,big_writes 0 0
/var/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0I also disabled the automatic USB mount:
Terminal
nano /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf
ENABLED=0
The final df looks like this:
Code:
root@xbian ~ # df

Just my experience....
Sadly XBMC 12.1 runs worse than 12.0 in alpha5 for me.
I use xbmc mostly to stream series/movies off the internet via addons like xstream or icefilms.
So content is delivered by various filehosters, which work fine most the time with 12.0, skipping works etc.
In 12.1 I have many sound issues (crackling, stopping, strange noise, not working at all), these issues appear especially when skipping, but also during normal playback.
Only stopping the file and starting again from beginning helps, which doesn't make sense when the error occurs in the middle of something and skipping forward crashes sound again^^
This seems to be xbmc related, same behavior on latest openelec and raspbmc.
I guess the new playback/caching by Dom in 12.1 doesn't like http streaming or whatever.
Reverted back to 12.0 and all is working again.
Maybe helpful for other struggling or deciding whether to update 12.1 or not.

I haven't had a chance to test thoroughly (it's the bedroom HTPC and the wife is now sleeping) but I'll test later.

What's up with the high CPU usage..stays above 96% even when idle. Has it always been this way (and I never noticed it) or this is really abnormal.

How do you check the CPU usage ?

In settings/system info

You should check CPU usage through ssh and top.

this is not a way to do so as it shows wrong.thats the reason why we removed this information from default skin,so the people are not get confused.
To check real CPU load do what is mentioned above like @f1vefour mentioned

You should check CPU usage through ssh and top.
Idle: (nothing playing).
%Cpu(s): 76.5 us, 13.6 sy, 5.8 ni, 3.4 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, ,0.0 st
Playing 1080p mkv from samba mount:
%Cpu(s): 42.3 us, 17.8 sy, ,5.7 ni, 32.6 id, 0.3 wa, 0.0 hi, 19.7 si, 0.0 st
Is this right? why is the first value lower under load compared to idle ?

The CPU usage for the MKV is because its mainly the GPU thats active.
The high CPU usage for XBMC is likely because you were not on the home screen.
