==== pciutils ====
== storaged replaces udisks2 ==


The '''pciutils''' package, which provides tools for inspecting and configuring PCI devices, has been upgraded to version 3.1.9 in Fedora 17. This adds support for reading speed and link status fields for PCI Express Genation 3 hardware.
The `udisks2` package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.


==== brltty ====
Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by `storaged`, an enhanced fork of the udisks project.  `storaged` is a drop-in replacement for `udisks2`, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like `Cockpit` in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.
 
Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .


Fedora 17 includes version 4.3 of '''brltty''', the Braille display daemon. Version 4.3 includes new logging and configuration options as well as support for additional devices.

storaged replaces udisks2

The udisks2 package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.

Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by storaged, an enhanced fork of the udisks project. storaged is a drop-in replacement for udisks2, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like Cockpit in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.

Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .
