udev rules: hide arrays and array members from nautilus

English Applications
1

Hello All,

In the not so distant past, I was able to hide arrays/encrypted arrays from nautilus with udev rules as follows:

Code:

HIDE Encrypted “dm” partitions from nautilus

SUBSYSTEM==“block”, KERNEL==“dm-*”, ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}==“crypto”, ENV{DKD_PRESENTATION_HIDE}=“1”

NOTE: not needed by Fedora

HIDE all other local disks as they are controlled by md-raid or adaptec

controller … they are all array members

SUBSYSTEM==“block”, KERNEL==“sd*”, ENV{ID_BUS}==“ata”, ENV{DKD_PRESENTATION_HIDE}=“1”

This worked in OpenSUSE 11.2; it does not work in either FC13 or OS11.3

Any thoughts, ideas, insights, and easy solutions appreciated!

… still having fun!

OpenSUSE 11.3 uses udisks, (formerly DeviceKit), so the rules need to change slightly to allow for this.

Similar thread here.

There it is suggested to use

SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sd*", ENV{ID_BUS}=="ata", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"

Hello Deano,

Thank you very much! That covers 90% … e.g. nautilus no longer shows a “disk” for every raid-member partition on my 6 drives … urg … I wish OpenSUSE would hide raid members by default.

Now that I know UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE is the correct variable … the rest is just a little udevadm poking around …

:smiley:
