That sounds better to
me than introducing yet another config file location/format?
Me too; I'm pretty sure David was dead against this kind of
configuration when we designed udisks/upower.
Well, me too. Partially.
But udev approach is clean and nice, but it requires root privileges. It
is good for specifying system wide things, but bad for things like:
Mount my camera SD card with shortname=lower.
I am all for removing system-wide configuration support from my patch
and keep only a support for unprivileged stuff.
It would be nice, if the non-privileged configuration will be acceptable
e. g. for gnome-disks.
And it would be nice to support all intended purposes by both
system-wide and non-privileged configuration:
- Rule based configuration (e. g. removable disc => add "flush" for
vfat).
- Per-volume configuration (e. g. this disc from camera should use my
timezone, that backup disc should use UTC).
- Possibility to implement a pop-up after inserting a medium, asking
for mount options before actually mount happens. (udisks2 already
provides needed notification, so we should actually just prevent to
make it impossible).
- Make possible to make decisions based on environment of calling task
(i. e. desktop environment, e. g. codepage= based on locale,
time_offset= based on timezone).
- Stuff that is safe for non-privileged users, should be doable by
non-privileged users.
