--- Comment #4 from Olivier Duchateau <duchateau.olivier at gmail.com> ---
No, it is not so simple. We can't merge thunar-volman into thunar. And if we
have gudev, libudev-devd is not equal to Linux's libudev.

In FreeBSD we have not the sys filesystem (thunar-volman uses this type of
block devices). Moreover I'm not sure we define same properties of block
devices as Linux.

For example thunar-volman checks these properties (based on the struct
udev_device through GUdevClient)

- ID_USB_DRIVER
- ID_MODEL
- ID_CLASS

and so on.

thunar-volman could work on FreeBSD, but it requires depth changes. I think it
is more easy (and beneficial to other desktops like GNOME, and MATE) to port
the udisk2 service, and add support in Thunar and Xfdesktop.
