About volume/disk blocks/size properties

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everybody,

I wonder... are there any reasons for not being convenient to export
some properties refering the volume size of a disk device?
Although I'm concerned about the
don't-turning-udev-into-a-hal-like-system, I still perceiving the
volume.size or volume.block_size properties as very useful for user
space apps.

On the one hand, it could be easy for user space apps to get the
size/blocks for partition devices, but on the other hand you need root
privs to get this info for disk devices, am i wrong? I think udev
should, at least, export this properties making them available for
user space apps.

I've been looking for similar questions on the mail-list archives but
couldn't found anything related, so i'll be very glad if someone could
clarify. Thanks in advance.
