DESCRIPTION
udisksctl is a command-line program used to interact with the udisksd(8) daemon
process.
COMMANDS
status
Shows high-level information about disk drives and block devices.
info
Shows detailed information about OBJECT or DEVICE.
mount
Mounts a device. The device will be mounted in a subdirectory in the /media
hierarchy - upon successful completion, the mount point will be printed to
standard output.
The device will be mounted with a safe set of default options. You can
influence the options passed to the mount(8) command with --options. Note
that only safe options are allowed - requests with inherently unsafe options
such as suid or dev that would allow the caller to gain additional
privileges, are rejected.
unmount
Unmounts a device. This only works if the device is mounted. The option
--force can be used to request that the device is unmounted even if active
references exists.
unlock
Unlocks an encrypted device. The passphrase will be requested from the
controlling terminal and upon successful completion, the cleartext device
will be printed to standard output.
lock
Locks a device. This only works if the device is a cleartext device backed
by a cryptotext device.
loop-setup
Sets up a loop device backed by FILE.
loop-delete
Tears down a loop device.
power-off
Arranges for the drive to be safely removed and powered off. On the OS side
this includes ensuring that no process is using the drive, then requesting
that in-flight buffers and caches are committed to stable storage. The exact
steps for powering off the drive depends on the drive itself and the
interconnect used. For drives connected through USB, the effect is that the
USB device will be deconfigured followed by disabling the upstream hub port
it is connected to.
Note that as some physical devices contain multiple drives (for example
4-in-1 flash card reader USB devices) powering off one drive may affect
other drives. As such there are not a lot of guarantees associated with
performing this action. Usually the effect is that the drive disappears as
if it was unplugged.
smart-simulate
Sets SMART data from the libatasmart blob given by FILE - see
/usr/share/doc/libatasmart-devel-VERSION/ for blobs shipped with
libatasmart. This is a debugging feature used to check that applications act
correctly when a disk is failing.
monitor
Monitors the daemon for events.
dump
Prints the current state of the daemon.
help
Prints help and exit.
COMMON OPTIONS
The option --no-user-interaction can be used to request that no interaction
(such as the user being presented with an authentication dialog) must occur when
checking with polkit(8) whether the caller is authorized to perform the
requested action.
AUDIENCE
This program does not assume that the caller is the super user - it is intended
to be used by unprivileged users and authorizations are checked by the udisks
daemon using polkit(8). Additionally, this program is not intended to be used by
scripts or other programs - options/commands may change in incompatible ways in
the future even in maintenance releases. See the “API STABILITY” section of
udisks(8) for more information.
BASH COMPLETION
udisksctl ships with a bash completion script to complete commands, objects,
block devices and some options.
AUTHOR
This man page was originally written for UDisks2 by David Zeuthen

Please send bug reports to either the distribution bug tracker or the upstream
bug tracker at https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues.
