G'day from Australia. I'm not sure I understood your question, but I'll try to answer it anyway ... In a udev .rules file, after 80-udisks.rules has run you can check for variables named UDISKS_PARTITION (which will be 1 if the current device is a partition on a larger drive) and UDISKS_PARTITION_TABLE (1 if the current device is a partitioned drive). Examples: SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{UDISKS_PARTITION}=="1", <handle a partition> SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{UDISKS_PARTITION_TABLE}=="1", <handle-partitioned-drive> Outside of a rules file, you can use udevadm info --query=property --name=/dev/whatever to get see whether UDISKS_PARTITION_TABLE or UDISKS_PARTITION are set. Another approach is to query the udisks(7) daemon via d-bus. In udisks v1.x, you would check the properties DeviceIsPartition and DeviceIsPartitionTable. I hope this helps -- Chris[topher] Chittleborough _______________________________________________ devkit-devel mailing list devkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/devkit-devel
