package release , which includes a system background process, libraries, and tools for managing access to and control over disks, storage devices, and related technologies. UDisks D-Bus API for working with disk partitions, configuring MD RAID, handling block devices in files (loop mounting), manipulating file systems, etc. Additionally, modules for monitoring and managing BCache, BTRFS, iSCSI, libStorageManagement, LVM2, LVM Cache, and zRAM are included.
For example, UDisks is used in GNOME applications for managing GNOME disk partitions and various graphical configuration tools.
In the new version:
- management of mounting options for file systems. Through UDisks, it is now possible to change the default mounting options for each type of file system (for FS not defined in /etc/fstab);
- The method of updating D-Bus object properties has been significantly changed (object properties are now updated before the method call returns);
- The internal module API has been redesigned. Modules now need to be enabled separately via the EnableModule() call;
- Added the ability to build only the libudisks2 library without the background process;
- The systemd service for cleaning mount points has been removed. The mount state is now monitored separately for transient and permanent mount points, and cleanup is performed at the start of the background process;
- A new LVM-VDO integration module has been proposed, allowing operation without a separate VDO module;
- Support for unlocking and locking BitLocker devices has been added.
