No! Removing systemwide automounting is a major feature regression.
Not all people use KDE or Gnome. They also use IceWM, OpenBox, Enlightenment, pure console and anything else. And they also want USB drives automounted.
Not to say that functionality and consumed resources are doubled when automounting is handled by the desktop.
Also note that udisks compatibility is not guaranteed between the releases and it is much easier to to change one place than multiple.
Ilya,
from where I stand I see two solutions for you (I'm serious): 1) You ask udisks2 upstream developer to stop their efforts and invest their time in udisks1 or any other auto-mount solution you favor. Then you ask any other upstream project that switched so far to udisks two to change to your favorite automounter 2) We drop udisks2 in Factory in favor of whatever you choose as automounter. And YOU will personally take care that every piece of software we get from any random upstream works with the by you chosen automounter.
If none of those options appeal to you, then PLEASE realize that even though not every decision does make sense to one individual, some others might see a sense in it.
Just to add something. At our company 9 of 10 machines (both desktop and servers) are used by users without KDE or Gnome. AFAIR automounting removable media does not work since a few openSUSE versions allthough it worked in past. Netherveless I don't care much about automounting because IMO using removable medias is somewhat outdated. Since suse 8.x I always disabled automounting and gave users permissions to mount manually. However the mechanism has been changed every second suse version so I became tired of it and since 10.x I simply ignore the whole thing completely. Anyway would be nice to have a "systemwide automounting" with a promising future to be able to setup our systems properly again. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
