This can be useful for users of slow block devices.
For example, the persistent-storage rules are needed for USB floppy
drives be recognized by udisks2, but the extra blkid calls cause
thrashing for 25+ seconds after every disk change.
With this change, a user wishing to avoid the extra blkid invocation(s)
could create /etc/udev/rules.d/55-floppy-noprobe.rules as follows:
# Don't probe PC floppy drives
SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="fd*", \
ENV{UDEV_DISABLE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_BLKID_FLAG}="1"
# Don't probe USB floppy drives
SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", \
ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="08", ATTRS{bInterfaceSubClass}=="04", \
ENV{UDEV_DISABLE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_BLKID_FLAG}="1"
I didn't exclude floppies by default in this change, because floppy
devices are also emulated by some BIOSes/hypervisors in some cases, and
I don't know how many systems would fail to boot if /dev/disk/by-uuid/*
became unavailable for 'floppy disks' on those systems.
Files in this directory contain configuration for systemd-udevd.service, a daemon that manages symlinks to device nodes, permissions of devices nodes, emits device events for userspace, and renames network interfaces. See man:udev(7) for an overview of the configuration file format, and man:systemd-udevd.service(8) for a description of service itself. Use 'systemd-analyze cat-config udev/rules.d' to display the effective config.
