Hi, For the record, the docs are located here
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/udisks/ Also note that the ABI of the udisks(1) binary isn't considered stable. The D-Bus ABI has some stability gurantees, see the README file.

The only reason --poll-for-media is there is to make it possible poll devices that are not polled by default - e.g. PC floppy devices. > b. Why does it poll the usb devices anyway? The kernel and udev handles > everything correct right, so why does udisks bother? No. The kernel only handles the USB device being yanked, not media removed from the device itself. While the former is good enough for e.g. USB attached hard disks (that are not removable) it is not good enough for e.g. card readers (that are removable). Unfortunately many devices incorrectly report whether they support removable media or not - for example USB sticks do that a lot (a USB stick is hotpluggable, not removable). One downside of that is that we poll them even when we don't need to. It's not a big problem.
