several questions regarding ".rules" rule files and etc
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B05B)
I am learning how to change removable storage device to /media instead of KDE default /run/media/$USER.
As i am reading this url, i came across something that i don't understand.
Appreciate if someone can explain to me. TQ

Code:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udisks#Mount_to_.2Fmedia_.28udisks2.29Code:Mount to /media (udisks2)
By default, udisks2 mounts removable drives under the ACL controlled directory /run/media/$USER/. If you wish to mount to /media instead, use this rule:
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-udisks2.rules
# UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED
# ==1: mount filesystem to a shared directory (/media/VolumeName)
# ==0: mount filesystem to a private directory (/run/media/$USER/VolumeName)
# See udisks(8)
ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"
Since /media, unlike /run, is not mounted by default as a tmpfs, you may also wish to create a tmpfiles.d snippet to clean stale mountpoints at every boot:
Code:
/etc/tmpfiles.d/media.conf
D /media 0755 root root 0 -
Q1.
Is it all rule files are located in the same folder location across all linux distro ? For example, i am using Arch based linux (endeavorous os to be exact).
Or it is has to do with KDE only ?
Let's say if i am using gnome of Endeavorous os.. will the rule files folder location still the same ?
Q2.
When i create such rule file as above, do i need to somehow "refresh" some module so that the system will make the "rule file" in effect ? Do i need to logout or reboot after the rule files is created, to take effect ?
Q3.
In above article, the rule file name is "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-disks2.rules", why "99-" ? I have came to understand that "99" is the priority over a rule file "98".. but since my folder has got no disks2.rules file, can i simply name it something like "09-disks2.rules" instead ? why "99-" was quoted as example ?
Q4.
What does snippet means ?
Q5.
Is this "etc/tmpfiles.d/media.conf" location and file is the place where snippet "settings" are store ? Can i put it that way; "settings"?
Likewise, just like the "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-disks2.rules" above, i can call this as "rules settings" of udev package ...
Q6.
Please explain what does this mean.
Code:/etc/tmpfiles.d/media.conf
D /media 0755 root root 0 -
I asked such funny questions because i am so very confused with linux way of how things work!
Thanks
