Hi Aleksander,

Thanks for the interesting and informative links. We have a customized
distro and the need is to recognize any volume mounts connected/disconnected
to the system. The missing glue was the gvfsd in our case. Once I got the
daemon running the mounts got identified via tracker.

Thanks for the support.

Cheers
