The documentation is a little bit confusing here -- the "HintSystem" property is not about the device access or filesystem permissions, it's about "accessing" UDisks functions using PolicyKit.
See the policies here [1] for mounting filesystems -- "normal" devices can be mounted by a "regular" user (in an active session), but "system" devices require root authentication (similar policies exist for unlocking encrypted devices, ejecting drives etc.) [1] https://github.com/storaged- project/udisks/blob/master/data/org.freedesktop.UDisks2.policy.in#L15 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836499 Title: Ignores HintSystem (UDISKS_SYSTEM) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1836499/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
