Restricting the Mounting of Hotplug Storage Devices on IGEL Linux
Goal:
You want to restrict the mounting of hotplug storage devices.
Solution:
As of IGEL Linux version 5.10.100, the following registry keys let you disable the mounting of hotplug storage devices based on the device class (floppy, optical, harddisk, flash, other).
devices.hotplug.enable_floppy
devices.hotplug.enable_optical
devices.hotplug.enable_harddisk
devices.hotplug.enable_flash
devices.hotplug.enable_other
These are all of type bool. Their default value is true. If true, mounting volumes on floppies, optical media, harddisks, flash memory devices, and others is enabled respectively.
Even if the above settings allow mounting hotplug storage devices, the following settings may still restrict it:
Devices > USB access control
Devices > Storage Devices > Storage Hotplug
In order to disable mounting of a device class system-wide:
In setup, go to System > Registry.
In the Parameter tree, open Devices > hotplug.
To disable the mounting of a device class, uncheck its Enable hotplug [...] parameter.
