If there is a system wide way of auto-mounting please make sure there is a system-wide way to make it stop!
Of course. The auto-mounting policy should be written in /etc/udev/rules.d/81-mount.rules
An administrator can edit this file to disable auto-mounting.
What about users? You are saying users should have to manually edit udev rule files just to disable automounting? Especially when at least some desktop environments provide GUIs to control their own automounting already? You are talking about a massive feature regression just to remove a small daemon.
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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
