Not quiet. udisks itself does not have "policy" for automounting, it only provides the D-Bus notifications and D-Bus interfaces for mounting. The actual automounting is done by the desktop; for GNOME that is gvfs or nautilus (it changed several times in the past), other desktops like KDE have a similar mechanism: They listen to udisks's D-Bus signals and ask UDisks to mount (or not; that depends on the user configuration). > I just want to know where in the udisk source code does udisk listen > to udev events? The gudev library translates uevent netlink socket events into a GObject "uevent" signal. In src/udiskslinuxprovider.c. udisks_linux_provider_init() connects that uevent signal to on_uevent(), which is also defined in that file.
