What is the umount mount option in udisks?
Also a uhelper=udisks2 mount option is added automatically to indicate the umount command to use UDisks again for unmounting when called by an unprivileged user. To allow flexibility in mount option naming, two special values are defined as placeholders for aforementioned IDs: $UID and $GID.
Why does udisks pass UID and GID to its daemon?
Unprivileged mounts, UID and GID passing UDisks daemon typically runs as root and spawns the mount command with root privileges while processing requests from unprivileged clients and it needs a way to set proper permissions for the mounted filesystem. This is usually done by passing the uid and gid mount options that common filesystems honour.
Do you need udisks to automount NTFS?
To automount removable media, you can just use udisks and a helper like ud {iskie,evil}. For an ntfs partition, you will also need that driver. Comparing it with the Lubuntu; I am sure there is a lot more cruft preinstalled that makes this happen. In Arch, you just install what you need.
Why do I need udev + udisks + GVfs installed to?
The problem is, when gvfs is not installed, no partitions show up in the filemanager (pcmanfm) although i can manually mount them via bash. Installing gvfs also installs udisks2 as a dependency and so i end up using udev+udisks+udisks2+gvfs for automounting on demand my partitions and devices.
Is there way to overriding builtin set of mount options?
Since the 2.9.0 UDisks release a new way of overriding builtin set of mount options is supported. This is primarily targeted to sysadmins with system-wide write access (e.g. /etc/udisks2 or udev rules) and essentially transfers responsibility for security and data consistency to their side.
How to mount an ISO image in udisk?
To easily mount ISO images, use the following command: $ udisksctl loop-setup -r -f image.iso This will create a loop device and show the ISO image ready to mount. Once unmounted, the loop device will be terminated by udev.
How can I ask Mount to mount a file?
The basic idea is to create entries in /etc/fstab that include the option user or users so that a user can ask mount to do the mounting specified in that entry by giving as argument the file to be mounted or the mount point to use (but not both in my expérience).
