This is a tested replacement for udisks2-inhibit which avoids
killing/restarting the daemon. It instead uses polkit's inotify by
merely placing a symlink into
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/90-mandatory.d/ . Since we are only
adding a new file (or rm it on cleanup), overlayfs' restricted inotify
Neither of the above solutions are perfect, thus for x and beyond (and
for Debian), I'd actually like to change it like this: udisks2-inhibit
should create a temporary udev rule in /run/udev/rules.d/ with
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1" on all block devices.
and then "udevadm
Note that the above is less robust than the original one as it now could
happen to leave a dangling symlink behind if udisks2-inhibit is killed
while its running with a signal that doesn't run the cleanup trap.
However, this doesn't change actual policy, and as we only really use
that during the
As indicated above, this is a variant which keeps the robust bind
mounting, but restarts polkit instead of just killing it. This should
deal much more gracefully with existing connected clients.
