Description-en: D-Bus service to access and manipulate storage devices
The udisks daemon serves as an interface to system block devices,
implemented via D-Bus. It handles operations such as querying, mounting,
unmounting, formatting, or detaching storage devices such as hard disks
or USB thumb drives.
.
This package also provides the udisksctl utility, which can be used to
trigger these operations from the command line (if permitted by
PolicyKit).
.
Creating or modifying file systems such as XFS, RAID, or LUKS encryption
requires that the corresponding mkfs.* and admin tools are installed, such as
dosfstools for VFAT, xfsprogs for XFS, or cryptsetup for LUKS.
