Hiding disks/partitions with udev stopped working!

I used to place a file `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-hide-partitions.rules' with the content:

KERNEL=="sda1", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}:="1"
KERNEL=="sda2", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}:="1"
KERNEL=="sda4", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}:="1"

which makes partitions other than sda3 invisible for my desktop users. After today's upgrade (gnome libraries) it stopped working. Any idea how to fix it or make it some other way?
Best regards,
/m

Try using UDISKS_IGNORE instead.

Thanks! It works!

BTW: cause the `UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE' is commonly used in numerous examples/howtos it worked till now and the use of this is quite common -- may I suggest some small announcement or sth like this for that change?

Re: Hiding disks/partitions with udev stopped working!

Something happened recently that caused xfce4/openbox to ignore this udev rule that had been working for months.  The rule keep my desktop clean by not displaying icons for the corresponding drive partitions.  Now, I have 4 icons on my desktop which I cannot remove.  Advice is appreciated.

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/hide-partitions.rules 
KERNEL=="sda3",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda4",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda6",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda8",ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"

Thanks, solved it.  I requested a merge with https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1091530.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … _xfdesktop

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/hide-partitions.rules 
KERNEL=="sda1", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda2", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda3", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda4", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

EDIT: updated to reflect proper syntax.
