💅 udisks2.conf — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is the manual for udisks2.conf (section 5 of the manual, if you're keeping score 🎀) — aka The udisks2 configuration file. it's the lil file that tells the udisks daemon how to behave. no cap. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

udisks2.conf — the udisks2 configuration file, periodt 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the udisks project gives you extra functionality through pluggable modules — think of them like lil accessories you can add to the daemon's outfit 💅. these plugins can get inserted into the daemon in one of two ways:

  • by a D-Bus call to org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Manager.EnableModules() ✨
  • or by running the udisks daemon with the --force-load-modules command line option 🔥

and ALSO (yes there's a third vibe) — you can configure the modules loading behavior via the configuration file placed at /etc/udisks2/udisks2.conf 🫶

🎀 CONFIGURATION FILE 🎀

the default configuration file udisks2.conf looks like this, exactly like this, do not improvise bestie:

[udisks2]
modules=*
modules_load_preference=ondemand

[defaults]
encryption=luks1

okay now let's break down each key, one by one, because i love you and i want you to actually get it 💜

  • modules = <string list> — this variable controls what modules should be loaded. it can hold either a comma-separated list of modules to load, or a single asterisk which stands for all the modules. one * and you're getting the whole menu, iconic 🌈
  • modules_load_preference = ondemand|onstartup — this key tells udisksd when to load the plugins: either at startup, or on demand by D-Bus org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Manager.EnableModules(). pick your timing bestie ⭐
  • encryption = luks1|luks2 — this variable controls which encryption technology will be used by default when creating an encrypted filesystem. luks1 or luks2, your call 🔐
