Question about enable polling.

[Stef Bon]

  Hello,

I'm using udisks now, and very happy with it. Good work!!

(I'm using a LinuxFRomSCratch system, and building everything from source)

My first impression is that it's far more flexible.

I'm using the udisks to activate the polling like:

udisks --poll-for-media /dev/sr0

Now I see that not only /dev/sr0 is being watched:

ps aux | grep udisks

root     10268  0.0  0.0  14408  3064 ?        SNl  12:55   0:00 
/usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon
root     10269  0.0  0.0   5884   668 ?        SN   12:55   0:02 
udisks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sr1

It works perfectly, the cdroms are handled perfectly, but:

a. why does is start polling all the devices /dev/sr0, /dev/sr1 but also 
the usb devices /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd?? On the commandline I've given 
only /dev/sr0??


b. Why does it poll the usb devices anyway? The kernel and udev handles 
everything correct right, so why does udisks bother?
