This looks like something we should provide upstream. Maybe even with
some other mechanism (like sending SIGUSR1 to the udisks2 process or
something like that)?

westlake, would you mind creating an upstream issue at https://github.c

like to be supported. Please keep in mind that we can make things
different and better than they used to be in the old udisks.
