Hi,
how do I prevent the dvd drives from being polled by udisks-daemon? I
can kill the process and it becomes a zombie, and I'd rather get
rid of
it.
This polling is something I really don't need or want! What else like
this is going on, and how do I disable it?
According to the man page[1], it should be as simple as (!) adding a
property to the device using a udev rule.
Apparently, yes --- but what rule or property is that? And how do I
disable it without rebooting? Udev stuff is a mystery, with
configuration that isn't readable by humans.
Googling the problem turned up this....
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="APPLE*", ENV{ID_MODEL}=="SD Card
Reader*", ENV{UDISKS_DISABLE_POLLING}="1"
Of course you'll have to make changes to match your CD-rom and where to
put the rule is a mystery (to me)...but it should get you started.
I believe the line should go in a new file called something like
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-local-rules
I haven't had a chance to test it yet
Ok, that file should have been called
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules
(All rules files must end with .rules)
It looks like the variable gets set for me with
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{UDISKS_DISABLE_POLLING}="1"
as the rule.
However, I can't confirm that this has disabled polling yet.
