Just finding my way around with udisks. Read man pages, but I could not find any docs in /usr/share/doc/udisks tcat@lynx:~$ udisks --inhibit-polling /dev/fd0 Inhibit polling failed: Media detection cannot be inhibited Floppy polling cannot be inhibited as it seems. I looked for a user configuration file, could not find any There is only a rule file /lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules Where in, floppy is set as, ... # PC floppy drives # KERNEL=="fd*", ENV{ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY}="1" ...
