This uuid could be private to GVFS and there would be a lookaside table
uuid -> {USB_STICK, "Sandisk", "Cruzer Micro", 4GB, "Raptor",
FALSE /* is removable */,
"/org/freedesktop/Hal/device/volume_uuid_1234"}
allowing you to put up dialogs such as
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| The application Frobnicator is trying to access a file on a |
| device that is not available right now. To continue please |
| attach the device |
| |
| <logo> 4GB file system labeled "Raptor" |
| Sandisk Cruzer Micro (in small grey font) |
| |
| [Cancel] [Continue] |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
(for removable media it would say "insert the media" rather than
"attach the device")
This should be a piece of cake to do (assuming HAL) and if people think
it's a good idea (I'm not entirely convinced it is) I'd be happy to take
a stab at it when GVFS is ready for this. Alex?
