Cannot set a ignore rule about udiskie HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey,

you should enclose your code sections (YAML, log) with github flavored markdown. This is required for preformatted text so no indentation is lost and underscores are not interpreted as bold face, etc. I mention this, because in YAML files indentation is important.

The problem is that ignore_device is expected to be a list of rules (that are tried in order). So it should be:

ignore_device:
- device_file: /dev/sdb

rather than

ignore_device:
  device_file: /dev/sdb

The distinction is subtle and maybe I should make it more clear in the README or raise a proper exception.

Furthermore, I strongly recommend you use the id_uuid rather than device_file to identify your device! It will be more unique..

Best regards,

Hi!

First of all, thanks for the tip on including code sections, I didn't know you can do that.
Regarding the config file, now that you've mentioned it, your're right. I'm not sure why I ignored that "-", but I forgot including it. It is fairly clear, nonetheless. My bad.

Regarding id_uuid, it seems that my disk does not have any. As it is part of a LVM volume involving several disks. This is what udisksctl says about my disk:

/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb:
  org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block:
    Configuration:              []
    CryptoBackingDevice:        '/'
    Device:                     /dev/sdb
    DeviceNumber:               2064
    Drive:                      '/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/ST912082_1AS_FF9120821A0000000000005FF3E7FF'
    HintAuto:                   true
    HintIconName:               
    HintIgnore:                 false
    HintName:                   
    HintPartitionable:          true
    HintSymbolicIconName:       
    HintSystem:                 false
    Id:                         by-id-usb-ST912082_1AS_FF9120821A0000000000005FF3E7FF-0:0
    IdLabel:                    
    IdType:                     
    IdUUID:                     
    IdUsage:                    
    IdVersion:                  
    MDRaid:                     '/'
    MDRaidMember:               '/'
    PreferredDevice:            /dev/sdb
    ReadOnly:                   false
    Size:                       120034123776
    Symlinks:                   /dev/disk/by-id/usb-ST912082_1AS_FF9120821A0000000000005FF3E7FF-0:0
                                /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0

It does not seem to be any UUID for it.

Oh, okay, I didn't know that. Maybe the Id: field could be useful:

A unique and persistent identifier for the device or blank if no such identifier is available.

It is not yet supported by udiskie for matching, but I can change that right now.

If you are sure your device will always be /dev/sdb, you can of course just ignore my recommendation;)

I think that would do it. Nevertheless, it is going to be /dev/sdb for ever and ever I think :) Don't make any effort covering that requirement if you don't think it is required. I'm happy with device_name nonetheless.

Hey,

I think adding a device_id property can in fact be really useful. You can now do it as

ignore_device:
- device_id: usb-ST912082_1AS_FF9120821A0000000000005FF3E7FF-0:0

Notice the missing by-id- prefix. The name is taken from the symlink in /dev/disk/by-id/ (for compatibility between udisks1 and udisks2 I did not just take the Block.Id property).

Great, thanks!
