Don't you get it this is part of a 'modern desktop' along with IPC everywhere (like windows) despite all of it's flaws especially in security compared to file based simpler and more direct systems like sudo and no sudo and polkit don't accomplish different things just one enables lots by default and the other thinks that is a bad idea. For me, polkit is certainly justification enough for sudo to reverse that mantra and I thought that before reading this. http://drfav.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/the-quest-towards-trusted-client-applications-a-rambling/ Here's a mail I've given to a few people who have found udisks problematic. Spacefm is being added to debian as we speak so you may wish to look at that too or udevil from the same author. _____________________________________________________________________________________ > As I said in another post, I don't really need auto-mounting for my daily > use, but if you don't mind sharing how you do it, I'll like to know. Quite crude (in a hurry) but works for many desktops and can be easily adapted for cross platform, it will need a little work for multiuser or systems with multiple permanent drives and certainly for any project, but you get the idea. If you look up the spacefm devs blog you'll find some daemons for various things too. /bin/cat /etc/udev/rules.d/* ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z]", RUN+="/bin/su _fixmount -c '/bin/sh /usr/local/mybin/fixmount.sh'", OPTIONS=="last_rule" ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/su _fixmount -c '/bin/sh /usr/local/mybin/fixmount.sh'", OPTIONS=="last_rule" ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/su _fixmount -c '/bin/sh /usr/local/mybin/fixunmount.sh'", OPTIONS=="last_rule" ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z]", RUN+="/bin/su _fixmount -c '/bin/sh /usr/local/mybin/fixunmount.sh'", OPTIONS=="last_rule" /bin/cat /usr/local/mybin/fixmount.sh #!/bin/sh BOB=$(/usr/bin/grep bob /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/cut -d ":" -f "3") #Order sequentially, gives device type matchable to order of plugged in on one nautilus interface without really long or dumb filesystem labels causing problems DEV="0" until ! /bin/mount | /usr/bin/grep -q /media/usb"$DEV" do let DEV=$DEV+1 done FS_OPTIONS="rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec" FILESYS=$(/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/blkid -c /dev/null -o export "${DEVNAME}" | /usr/bin/egrep ^TYPE | /usr/bin/cut -d "=" -f 2) case $FILESYS in fat) FS_OPTIONS="rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,flush,uid=oesys,umask=027" ;; vfat) FS_OPTIONS="rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,flush,uid=oesys,umask=027" ;; ntfs) FS_OPTIONS="rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,uid=oesys,umask=027,windows_names,streams_interface=none" ;; ext2) FS_OPTIONS="rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,resuid=$OESYS" ;; ext3) FS_OPTIONS="rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,resuid=$OESYS,barrier=1,commit=2" ;; ext4) FS_OPTIONS="rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,resuid=$OESYS,commit=2,journal_checksum" ;; esac /usr/bin/sudo /bin/mount -n -o "$FS_OPTIONS" "${DEVNAME}" /media/usb"$DEV" -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
