     I understand from other posts that libudev-compat, which comes with 
vdev, will suffice.


     However I think it would be better for this application to be 
triggered by inotify and find information on the partitions from 
libblkid. I don't really know what libudev provides; my understanding is 
that it is second hand information and services, just for the sake to 
provide yet another interface. Instead both inotify and libblkid are 
plain Linux tools.
