Re: polkit rules for virt administration

I agree, this is useful. I'm currently also having my own polkit rules to achieve this. I'm currently using the groep wheel for this, but that's not the right choice. Would be good to have a solution in f20. Rolf Op 17 sep. 2013 om 05:55 heeft Rolf Fokkens r...@rolffokkens.nl het volgende

bcache, udev rules and calling blkid

Hi, On bugzilla there was a brief discussion on how to reduce the number of blkid calls during udev rules processing: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004693 The general idea was to rely on earlier calls to blkid instead of having later rules calling blkid themselves.
