Re: sudo udisksctl

David, feel free to stop discussion if you find me annoying. My problem 
in some sense is close to your one and I am trying to figure out if 
missed some udisks feature and the result is some inconvenience.

I find it convenient to have a meaningful name in /dev/mapper in 
addition to /dev/dm-X. So I would not call it pure disadvantage.

I consider pmount as a tool does not need separate unlock and mount 
commands, so a shell function becomes unnecessary. In respect to 
permissions (for removable drives) it acts as a substitute for sudo.

I expected that you need to mount a partition under /media into the 
directory with name taken from filesystem LABEL. If so then udisksd can 
do it and /etc/fstab entry is unnecessary. You anyway added an udev 
rule. The following one should change mountpoint from 
/media/$USER/lulu01 to /media/lulu01

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="lulu01", 
ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"

It seems that mixing of udisksctl and non-udisksctl commands cat be avoided.
