How to manage udisk with the udisk utilities?
Solution 1:
To use the udisks2 utility commands, type
udisksctl
And you see the options:
$ udisksctl
Usage:
udisksctl COMMAND
Commands:
help Shows this information
info Shows information about an object
dump Shows information about all objects
status Shows high-level status
monitor Monitor changes to objects
mount Mount a filesystem
unmount Unmount a filesystem
unlock Unlock an encrypted device
lock Lock an encrypted device
loop-setup Set-up a loop device
loop-delete Delete a loop device
power-off Safely power off a drive
smart-simulate Set SMART data for a drive
Use "udisksctl COMMAND --help" to get help on each command.
Example
You wanted to unmount a flash drive with udisksctl
you will need to get the name of the mounted partition. You can find out with:
lsblk
example output:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 1 15.2G 0 disk
└─sda1 8:1 1 15.2G 0 part /media/zanna/4C45-110F
so I can unmount this device:
udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sda1
This is reversible with udisksctl mount -b /dev/sda1
Solution 2:
udisks2
is installed in your system.
There is no command udisks2
that can be run in a terminal.
So everything looks correct.
You can use other terminal commands related to udisks
like udisksctl
.
