Hi, I guess we are missing half of the messages in the discussion.
Tracker uses HAL or DeviceKit (depending on the platform) to detect the volumes. Tracker doesn't abstract the filesystem or the mounting logic. Yes, Tracker uses the API but doesn't "wrap" it for other applications. If you want to use similar code in your application, you can always take a look into the tracker source code (and respect the license, of course). IIRC it should be somewhere in libtracker-miner...
