Ship it!


From where I stand, I see HAL as the official backend for freeBSD, no moder=
n linux distro (or any distro that will update their libsolid version) is s=
hipping with HAL.

So, if with this patch freeBSD support is better, please go ahead! =

goes up only one level to search for the StorageDrive device. This works fine with \
UDev, but not with HAL, which can have (at least on FreeBSD, where I&#39;m testing \
it) a StorageVolume device in the middle. Going up the whole tree of the Block device \
ensures that we eventually get to the StorageDrive one to fetch the correct removable \
property.

While here, I&#39;d like to ask why only removable is set (in a not so convincing \
way, as a removable device can be non-hotpluggable as far as I know) instead of both \
removable and hotpluggable, as done few lines above.

If approved, I&#39;d like to commit this also to 4.9.</pre>
