Arranges for the drive to be safely removed and powered off. On the OS side this includes ensuring that no process is using the drive, then requesting that in-flight buffers and caches are committed to stable storage. The exact steps for powering off the drive depends on the drive itself and the interconnect used. For drives connected through USB, the effect is that the USB device will be deconfigured followed by disabling the upstream hub port it is connected to. Note that as some physical devices contain multiple drives (for example 4-in-1 flash card reader USB devices) powering off one drive may affect other drives. As such there are not a lot of guarantees associated with performing this action. Usually the effect is that the drive disappears as if it was unplugged. |

For commands that require a device as an argument following options can be used to specify it.
|
Specify a device by its device file path. For example /dev/sda. |
|
Specify a device by the UDisks internal object path without the
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2 prefix. For example
block_devices/sda

Specify a drive by name, for example VirtIO_Disk.
This can be currently used only together with the

The option --no-user-interaction can be used
to request that no interaction (such as the user being
presented with an authentication dialog) must occur when
checking with
polkit(8)
whether the caller is authorized to perform the requested
action.
This program does not assume that the caller is the super user - it is intended to be used by unprivileged users and authorizations are checked by the udisks daemon using polkit(8). Additionally, this program is not intended to be used by scripts or other programs - options/commands may change in incompatible ways in the future even in maintenance releases. See the “API STABILITY” section of udisks(8) for more information.
udisksctl ships with a bash completion script to complete commands, objects, block devices and some options.
