I'm looking at the source right now. Some questions: a. can the udisks mount monitor also provide this information to other apps, like dolphin and autofs. I see that lot's of apps/programs are "interested" in mountinfo, and poll/scan the mountinfo file for that purpose. Isn't it better to have one prog do that (==udisks) and others get the information via a socket/dbus? b. does udisks also provide information about non local mounts (cifs, fuse etc) , so no disks? c. I've been thinking about the ability to make the kernel export mountinfo via netlink. Everytime the kernel mounts, a message is send via netlink to userspace. Doesn't it make the monitoring easier??? Now the whole mountinfo file has to be parsed, sorted and checked for changes.
