NAMEudisks − Storage Management

DESCRIPTIONudisks provides an interface to enumerate storage devices and perform operations on them​. Any application can access the org​.freedesktop​.UDisks service on the system message bus​. Some operations (such as formatting disks etc​.) is restricted using polkit​.

DEVICE INFORMATIONOn Linux, udisks relies on recent versions of udev(7) and the kernel​. Influential device properties in the udev database include: UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE If set to 1 this is a hint to presentation level software that the device should not be shown to the user​. UDISKS_PRESENTATION_NOPOLICY If set to 1 this is a hint to presentation level software that the device should not be automounted or autoassembled (for e​.g​. components of a multi−disk device)​. UDISKS_DISABLE_POLLING If set to 1 this will disable the polling of drives for media changes, for devices which do not send out media notifications by themselves (this mostly affects CD drives)​. Some CD drives cause bad effects such as very high CPU usage when being polled​. UDISKS_PRESENTATION_NAME The name to user for the device when presenting it to the user​. UDISKS_PRESENTATION_ICON_NAME The icon to use when presenting the device to the user​. If set, the name must follow the freedesktop​.org icon theme specification​. UDISKS_MOUNT_OPTIONS Additional mount options to be appended to the existing mount options​. Format is a comma separated list of options to pass to mount​. UDISKS_MOUNT_OPTIONS_ALLOW If set, this restricts the options allowed in mount​. Format is a comma separated list of possible options allowed to be passed to mount (e​.g​. "exec,noexec,nodev,nosuid,atime,noatime,nodiratime,ro,rw,sync,dirsync,uid=,gid=") The ID_DRIVE_* properties are used to describe what kind of physical media can be used in a device​. These are typically set on the main block device (e​.g​. /dev/sdb) and more than one these properties can be set if the device supports multiple kinds of media​. ID_DRIVE_EJECTABLE Whether the media in the drive is physically ejectable​. Only set this to 1 (or 0) if the drive truly uses (or doesn´t) ejectable media​. In particular, it is not necessary to set this for e​.g​. iPod or Kindle devices where it is necessary to send a command via eject(1) since the desktop user session will offer this option for removable devices regardless of whether they are ejectable​. If this property is not set, a heuristic will be used to determine if the media is ejectable (drives using optical, Zip or Jaz media are considered ejectable)​. ID_DRIVE_DETACHABLE Whether the device is detachable​. It is only meaningful to set this to 0 (to avoid marking a device as detachable) since the code for detaching the device is part of udisks itself​. If this property is not set, a heuristic will be used to determine if the drive is detachable (currently only devices connected through USB are detachable)​. ID_DRIVE_CAN_SPINDOWN Whether the device can spin down​. It is only meaningful to set this to 0 (to avoid marking a device as being capable of spinning down) since the code for spinning down the device is part of udisks itself​. If this property is not set, a heuristic will be used to determine if the drive can spin down (currently only ATA devices, including those USB devices with a SAT layer) can be spun down)​. ID_DRIVE_FLASH The device is compatible with flash​. ID_DRIVE_FLASH_CF The device is compatible with Compact Flash​. ID_DRIVE_FLASH_MS The device is compatible with Memory Stick​. ID_DRIVE_FLASH_SM The device is compatible with SmartMedia​. ID_DRIVE_FLASH_SD The device is compatible with SecureDigital​. ID_DRIVE_FLASH_SDHC The device is compatible with High−Capicity SecureDigital​. ID_DRIVE_FLASH_MMC The device is compatible with MultiMediaCard​. ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY The device is compatible with floppy disk​. ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY_ZIP The device is compatible with Zip​. ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY_JAZ The device is compatible with Jaz​. The ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_* properties describe the current media in a device​. As with the ID_DRIVE_* properties, these properties are typically set on the main block device (e​.g​. /dev/sdb)​. Typically only one of these properties are set​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH The physical media currently inserted into the device is flash​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_CF The physical media currently inserted into the device is Compact Flash​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_MS The physical media currently inserted into the device is Memory Stick​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_SM The physical media currently inserted into the device is SmartMedia​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_SD The physical media currently inserted into the device is SecureDigital​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_SDHC The physical media currently inserted into the device is High−Capicity SecureDigital​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_MMC The physical media currently inserted into the device is MultiMediaCard​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLOPPY The physical media currently inserted into the device is floppy disk​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLOPPY_ZIP The physical media currently inserted into the device is Zip​. ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLOPPY_JAZ The physical media currently inserted into the device is Jaz​.
