Hide disk partitions on Xfce desktop: 13.37 vs. 14.0
 
Hi,

On Slackware 13.37, I could hide disk partitions showing on my Xfce desktop by creating /etc/udev/rules.d/hide-partitions.rules and editing it like this:

Code:
KERNEL=="sda5",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda6",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda7",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda8",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda9",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda10",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
This worked as intended, but not on Slackware 14.0 anymore. Has the syntax changed?

Cheers,

Niki

Adding an entry for each partition into fstab does the trick, I believe the mount point has to be somewhere other than /media for this to work. I have the following for the two partitions I don't want displayed:

Code:
/dev/sda6        /mnt/sda6        ext4        defaults,noauto  0  0
/dev/sda7        /mnt/sda7        ext4        defaults,noauto  0  0

Thanks very much! That did the trick.

I have set it up with udev rules using UDISKS_IGNORE instead without fstab entries and that is also working well.
