However once I get the notification, I can have netlink socket pass the device data to my user space application. Here the tricky part is I can get the device info, but not able to figure out how can I get the mount path from this device. I tried looking at linux automount feature but its doc is limited and its on demand feature may not allow me to know for sure if the drive is mounted properly. So is there any way I can get the mount path from the USB device structure in userspace? for encrypted filesystem there isnt any problem as I would be overlaying that on the USB device default filesystem.
