udisks2 supports GObject Introspection, so it might be easier to use it instead of DBus. Another (admitedly, not exactly nice) option would be to use a udisks1 compatibility layer. If the latter can be made to work in less than 2 hours, it might be a good enough option to unblock the work that’s being done on the test suite; of course, it can’t be a viable long-term solution (such wrappers bitrot).

I consider the port as done. If no regressions are discovered, the person finising the packaging and integartion is welcome to close this ticket.

Reassigning to anonym, as he may discover issues when he works on Feature #7563. anonym: if the automated test suite passes, please mark this ticket as resolved. I’ve already reviewed the code changes.

I’ve discovered a small bug:

https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/9378#note-5
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/9378#note-6

When I use a USB stick which has one FAT partition or which has already the correct formatting, I sometimes get out of range errors when we want to load the system partition.

Should I reassign this to alant?

> Should I reassign this to alant?

Created Bug #9612 as a subtask, otherwise it’ll quickly get messy in here. Please get in touch with Alan directly (private email would work best, I guess) to see if he’ll have time to fix that quickly. Otherwise we’ll have to deal with it early July, somehow.
