UDISKSD(8) System Daemon UDISKSD(8)NAME
udisksd - The udisks system daemon
SYNOPSIS
udisksd [--help] [--replace] [--no-debug] [--no-sigint]
DESCRIPTION
The udisksd program provides the org.freedesktop.UDisks2 name on the system message bus. Users or administrators should never need to start
this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1) or systemd(1) whenever an application tries to access its D-Bus
interfaces.
See the udisks(8) man page for more information.
OPTIONS --help
Show help options.
--replace
Replace existing daemon.
--no-debug
Do not print debug or informational messages on stdout/stderr.
--no-sigint
Do not handle SIGINT for controlled shutdown.

DESCRIPTION
udisksctl is a command-line program used to interact with the udisksd(8) daemon process.
COMMANDS
status
Shows high-level information about disk drives and block devices.
info
Shows detailed information about OBJECT or DEVICE.
mount
Mounts a device. The device will be mounted in a subdirectory in the /media hierarchy - upon successful completion, the mount point
will be printed to standard output.
The device will be mounted with a safe set of default options. You can influence the options passed to the mount(8) command with
--options. Note that only safe options are allowed - requests with inherently unsafe options such as suid or dev that would allow the
caller to gain additional privileges, are rejected.
unmount
Unmounts a device. This only works if the device is mounted. The option --force can be used to request that the device is unmounted
even if active references exists.
unlock
Unlocks an encrypted device. The passphrase will be requested from the controlling terminal and upon successful completion, the
cleartext device will be printed to standard output.
lock
Locks a device. This only works if the device is a cleartext device backed by a cryptotext device.
loop-setup
Sets up a loop device backed by FILE.
loop-delete
Tears down a loop device.
smart-simulate
Sets SMART data from the libatasmart blob given by FILE - see /usr/share/doc/libatasmart-devel-VERSION/ for blobs shipped with
libatasmart. This is a debugging feature used to check that applications act correctly when a disk is failing.
monitor
Monitors the daemon for events.
dump
Prints the current state of the daemon.
help
Prints help and exit.
COMMON OPTIONS
The option --no-user-interaction can be used to request that no interaction (such as the user being presented with an authentication
dialog) must occur when checking with polkit(8) whether the caller is authorized to perform the requested action.
AUDIENCE
This program does not assume that the caller is the super user - it is intended to be used by unprivileged users and authorizations are
checked by the udisks daemon using polkit(8). Additionally, this program is not intended to be used by scripts or other programs -
options/commands may change in incompatible ways in the future even in maintenance releases. See the "API STABILITY" section of udisks(8)
for more information.
BASH COMPLETION
udisksctl ships with a bash completion script to complete commands, objects, block devices and some options.
