Hi all, I think inotify is the best foundation for a usb plugin/plugout detector. I used it in my early 2015 proof of concept proving that Poettering's socket activation was overkill and could be accomplished much less intrusively with inotify.
As far as I know, Hopman's only usage is to mount thumb drives and USB connected SATA drives. If that's the case, filtering the inotify event stream should be fairly straightforward. Once detection is accomplished, functions, callbacks or objects can be used to accomplish the proper action.
