udisks2 also can use /etc/fstab, and mediamanager.cpp wrongly overrides this feature!!!
In this case, I hope just one additional checkbox "prefer udisk(2) over fstab" will cover this use case?
Sorry, I don't get it./etc/fstab is there to allow a sys admin to setup information on how to mount disks. For example you could mount specific partitions to specific folders and allow access to specific users *ONLY*. If any non-root user could simply click a checkbox and bypass the rules in fstab and mount disks at its own pleasure, where would security go?
On a server or share computer, the above can't not be allowed and using fstab info is the correct way, when present. systemd does that and you can mount a disk with udisks and dbus without even having any DE installed, as long as fstab and policies allow you to do that.
On a personal computer with a single user, you can login as root, edit fstab and set up mounting as you prefer or remove the entry from there all together.
Maybe I am missing something, if so please point it out for my own knowledge :-) Cheers Michele
