I'd look for partitions that are not "child" partitions, i.e. the devices that do not export the Partition interface or have Partition.Table is set to "/" and Partition.IsContained set to false. Furthermore, Block.CryptoBackingDevice should be "/", but from my experience you don't have to worry about that, since UDisks doesn't set the Block.Drive for unlocked devices (although that might be subject to change or even just a bug?). I'm not sure this covers all cases, but at least these are the properties that I'm currently using in udiskie. > > How do I choose the right one?
