Getting information on mounted drives in Linux with libudev

Question

I use libudev to monitor storage devices (usb keys, etc) so that when they are modified I get a notification in my program. Libudev tells you whether or not a device has been added,removed,etc and gives you the device node. For example, if I add an SD card in my system, libudev will tell me that "/dev/mmcblk0p1" was added. When this happens, I want to get the mount point of the device as well. So I check /proc/mounts to see what mount path the device has been mapped to. While this seems to work okay, I'm not sure whether libudev sends me the signal that a device has been added before it mounts the device, after it mounts the device or somewhere in between (which would mean that me checking the /proc/mounts file right after I get the signal is an unreliable method). So my question is does anyone know when libudev sends the signal, and whether or not the method I use to get the device's mount path is reliable? If it isn't, is there another way to get the mount path given the device node that is reliable?

Answer 1

I can't give a guarantee, but I'm doing something very similar and it seems to work for me too. I listen for block/disk add events, find corresponding block/partition devices and then parse /proc/mounts looking for the dev node.
