udisks2.conf5
The udisks2 configuration file
Overview
The udisks project provides additional functionality via pluggable modules. These plugins can be inserted into the daemon either by D-Bus call org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Manager.EnableModules() or by running the udisks daemon with --force-load-modules command line option.
It is also possible to configure the modules loading behavior via the configuration file placed at /etc/udisks2/udisks2.conf.
Configuration file
The default configuration file udisks2.conf looks like this:
[udisks2]
modules=*
modules_load_preference=ondemand
[defaults]
encryption=luks1
modules = <string list>
This variable controls what modules should be loaded. It may contain either a comma-separated list of modules to load or a single asterisk which stands for all the modules.
modules_load_preference = ondemand|onstartup
This key tells udisksd when to load the plugins: either at startup or on demand by D-Bus org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Manager.EnableModules().
encryption = luks1|luks2
This variable controls which encryption technology will be used by default when creating an encrypted filesystem.
