Package: hal
Version: 0.5.10-5
Severity: normal
As I don't really want things to pop up automatically when I insert new
media, I have long wanted to disable the polling by hal of my two DVD
drives. Today I thought I'd found the correct way to do this, but
polling continues to be active.
I added the following file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/hal/fdi/policy$ cat local.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="storage.removable" bool="true">
<merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
After restarting hal, this seems to have worked:
$ hal-device | grep -E "(^[^ ]|media_check_enabled)" | grep media_check_enabled
-B1
2: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_AD_7170S'
storage.media_check_enabled = false (bool)
7: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_S_VDN71BTCDAT4EG'
storage.media_check_enabled = false (bool)
14: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_S_VDKE1BTCDZ1KHR'
storage.media_check_enabled = false (bool)
15: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_LITE_ON_DVD_SOHD_16P9SV'
storage.media_check_enabled = false (bool)
16: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0_storage'
storage.media_check_enabled = false (bool)
However, ps still shows the DVD drives being polled:
$ ps ax|grep hald-addon-storage|grep polling
6721 ? S 0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/hda (every 2 sec)
6735 ? S 0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/scd0 (every 2 sec)
/dev/hda corresponds to device 15 and /dev/scd0 to device 2.
I'm filing this as a BR as this seems like a bug in hal. However, if I've
done something wrong then please let me know.
Cheers,
FJP

I just noticed, that this was fixed a few days ago in the upstream git
repository. A todays snapshot now correctly disables polling, if the fdi
file is in /etc/hal/fdi/policy (i.e. storage.media_check_enabled=FALSE)
0.5.11 is about to be released soon, so I mark this bug as pending.
Marking as fixed in version 0.5.11-1.
Cheers,
Michael
