Well, a google search for "udisks documentation" brings up:
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/udisks/
which pretty much describes the udisks D-Bus interface for udisks 1.x,
which is what ships in Fedora 15 at least.
Sorry, I switched back to talking about gudev. I used the udisks
documentation and it got me as far as I could go. I just think the
functionality I need just isn't there yet.
Thanks,
