Hi All, I'm interested in UDisks support for removing drives connected via a dock device, such as the UltraBay in my ThinkPad T430. My understanding is that this is not currently supported (e.g. a docked hard drive is currently "removable: false" on my system).

Since this was back in 2009, I'm having some difficulty picking up the trail from there. Was there ever a proposed API or implementation for the sysfs changes? Is anybody still working on it or interested? Is such support still desirable/workable? I'd be interested in contributing, if that might be useful.
