The USB subsystem isn't currently equipped to notify devd (technically,
the devctl_notify function isn't used in the USB stack). So the only
notification you'll get is when devfs creates a device. Since there is
no predictable link between a USB device and a disk device, info from
the USB stack would be less then usefull.
You can check this by reading from /dev/devctrl (when devd is not
running, since this device can only be opened by one program at a time)
just after you plugged in the device. For my usb thumbdrive I get:
cat /dev/devctl
!system=3DDEVFS subsystem=3DCDEV type=3DCREATE cdev=3Dpass2
!system=3DDEVFS subsystem=3DCDEV type=3DCREATE cdev=3Dda0
!system=3DDEVFS subsystem=3DCDEV type=3DCREATE cdev=3Dda0s1
!system=3DDEVFS subsystem=3DCDEV type=3DCREATE cdev=3Dmsdosfs/RFS1
While sysctl gives:
dev.umass.0.%desc: vendor 0x3538 USB Mass Storage Device, class 0/0, rev 2.=
00/1.00, addr 2
dev.umass.0.%driver: umass
dev.umass.0.%location: port=3D4 interface=3D0
dev.umass.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=3D0x3538 product=3D0x0042 devclass=3D0x00 devs=
ubclass=3D0x00 release=3D0x0100 sernum=3D"000000000004E1" intclass=3D0x08 i=
ntsubclass=3D0x06
dev.umass.0.%parent: uhub4
So for now, you'll have to match on the creation of da* devices, or
labels if you use those.
