Welcome to the udiskie wiki!

Please feel free to improve the wiki by adding and/or editing existing articles.

Overview

udiskie is a UDisks front-end that allows to manage removeable media such as CDs or flash drives from userspace. Its features include:

  • automount removable media when inserted
  • notifications (on insertion, mount, unmount, …)
  • GTK tray icon to manage all available devices
  • command line tools for manual un-/mounting
  • support for LUKS encrypted devices
  • support for unlocking with keyfiles (requires udisks 2.6.4)
  • support for loop devices (mounting iso archives, requires UDisks2)
  • password caching
  • works with either udisks1 or udisks2
  • an extensible code base (python)
  • a maintainer who is open for suggestions;)

All features can be individually enabled or disabled (yes, you can submit unmaintainable code and make me salty!)
