Can't disable unused filesystemsCan't disable unused filesystemsPosted Mar 2, 2013 16:59 UTC (Sat) by jmorris42 (subscriber, #2203)In reply to: Can't disable unused filesystems by cortana Parent article: A story of three kernel vulnerabilities
Yea, /etc/filesystems is documented as only being consulted for -t auto or leaving the switch off entirely. If you explicitly specify a filesystem you expect the system to do what you told it.
But the key point remains, after several replies nobody can point to a way to actually solve a problem that exists on all graphical desktops.
udev is clearly not intended to be modified by the end user. It isn't documented, the files controlling it are written in a way to be hostile to manual editing and the entire subsystem has been churning for years.
Simply stopping the modules from loading isn't a good solution either.
You can't even reliably suppress the icons from appearing on a desktop. I once found a way to do it, it worked until the next Fedora.

udisks does provide properties you can use to prevent volumes from being mounted by and/or shown to the user, so this should be possible. The churn is a huge pain in the arse, however. And I see it's about to get worse, since udisks is being replaced by udisks2... :/

In effect udisks has been unmaintained for ages. I've reported several bugs that could well be security holes upstream (writes through null pointers, writes through uninitalized, pointers, the code quality is really quite dire). Not one has ever got a response.
