[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#582288: udisks: Inhibit polling failed: Media detection cannot be inhibited

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: udisks
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: important

As part of laptop-mode-tools, I have been calling hal-disable-polling to
take care of disabling the poll on the cdrom drive.

With the switch to udisks, I tried to accomodate the same. But maybe
this looks like a bug.

mode-tools/modules $ sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/scd0
Following symlink from /dev/scd0 to /dev/sr0.
Polling for drive /dev/scd0 have been disabled. The fdi file written was
/etc/hal/fdi/information/media-check-disable-storage_model_DVDRAM_GU10N.fdi
