I believe that you're correct, but that (unless I'm missing something) libudisks and the daemon communicate using the Dbus message API. So it should be possible to use the library with a FreeBSD-specific daemon (that already exists) providing the same messaging interface. > If what you want is a library that can manage various kinds of local > storage you probably want libblockdev.

I'm mostly interested in a library that will let me know whether/when removable storage devices (like USB memory sticks) or media (like CDs or DVDs) become available for mounting. Am I looking in the wrong place with libudisks? _______________________________________________ devkit-devel mailing list devkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/devkit-devel
