[SOLVED] udisks excessive message volume

anyone know how to lower the verbosity or shut off run-of-the-mill messages?

I run journalctl in the  background all the time so I can get a quick system status update with just a glance, also to watch shell scripts real-time

the volume of non-error,  run-of-the-mill messages from udisks is making journalctl a pain to use this way. 

mostly variations on these:  (i'm not currently running smart daemon)
Mar 28 12:11:17 sam udisks-daemon[21267]: helper(pid   428): launched job udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect on /dev/sdg
... <cut> ...
Mar 28 12:11:17 sam udisks-daemon[21267]: **** EMITTING CHANGED for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:02:00.0/host0/port-0:4/end_device-0:4/target0:0:4/0:0:4:0/block/sdi


I tried creating

/etc/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-udisks2.rules

both with the same content:

#http://udisks.freedesktop.org/docs/1.0.5/udisks.7.html
KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", ATTR{removable}=="0", ENV{ID_BUS}=="ata",ENV{DEVTYPE}=="disk", ENV{UDISKS_DISABLE_POLLING}="1"

I have a bunch of disks accumulated over many years (including pcie SAS to SATA adapters) so the volume of messages gets kind of high

Re: [SOLVED] udisks excessive message volume

I read that udisks is really no longer needed & tried to remove it - pacman told me it's a dependency, which in the end turned out to be the source of my issue.

the "problem" was pcmanfm and libfm, which depend on udisks, and even though I had disabled pcmanfm's volume management it seemed to keep polling.

I had moved to pcmanfm for the compact view.

I uninstalled all 3-pcmanfm and libfm and udisks and am using thunar and nemo
