[Discuss] Discuss Digest, Vol 45, Issue 2

[Craig Miller]

Patrick,

I know Gnome does something like this, I believe it uses udisk under the
covers.

$ ps -ef | grep udisk
cvmiller  4826   930  0 Sep19 ?        00:00:03
/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor
root      4835   930  0 Sep19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd
--no-debug

Craig....
