So it has to be somewhere else. Any ideas where to look? gvfs > maybe? I'm not sure. With Fedora 25 this notification functionality is not happening. I'm not sure what or when the regression happens, or even if it's flawed testing. I did this in a virt-manager VM, and removing the virtual block device, booting I get no notification. If I boot with both devices and inside the VM I do: # echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete I see complaints in kernel messages indicating the array is now degraded, and udisks does pick up this fact: [ 80.911812] localhost.localdomain udisksd[1393]: Unable to resolve /sys/devices/virtual/block/md127/md/dev-sdb2/block symlink [ 80.912156] localhost.localdomain udisksd[1393]: Unable to resolve /sys/devices/virtual/block/md127/md/dev-sdb2/block symlink [ 80.912284] localhost.localdomain udisksd[1393]: Unable to resolve /sys/devices/virtual/block/md126/md/dev-sdb1/block symlink [ 80.912414] localhost.localdomain udisksd[1393]: Unable to resolve /sys/devices/virtual/block/md126/md/dev-sdb1/block symlink But still no notification in GNOME Shell. I don't know if there's something GNOME Shell is expecting to get additionally from udisksd, if so it might actually be a storaged regression. In that case the solution might need to be abstracted from GNOME Shell in storaged anyway, because why reinvent this particular wheel in the DE? We have degradedness notifications needed for mdadm, LVM, and Btrfs (and even ZFS if we're asking for unicorns). I guess I need to try this with Fedora 24 and see if it might be a storaged regression. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
