I know there exists 'libmount' created by mount maintainer, there is no
D-Bus service for it though. So some development effort is needed :-(.
And it might be useful consider also local non-device filesystems, e.g.
someone might be interested in an alert when /tmp (=tmpfs) runs out of
space.
Interesting use cases for something like storaged to run along side
udisks ... Worth discussing.
