udisksctl: Monitor the daemon for events.
$ udisksctl monitor
try on your machine

The command "udisksctl monitor" is used to monitor disk events on a Linux system using the UDisks service. UDisks is a service that provides an interface to manage and interact with storage devices, such as hard disks, USB drives, and CD/DVD drives.

When you run the "udisksctl monitor" command, it starts monitoring for any disk-related events that occur on your system. These events can include insertion or removal of storage devices, mounting or unmounting of partitions, and other disk-related activities.

The command will continuously display information about the detected disk events in real-time, including the device path, mount point, file system type, and other relevant details. This can be useful for monitoring and tracking disk-related activities, automating certain tasks, or simply getting a better understanding of how your system interacts with storage devices.

You can stop the monitoring by pressing Ctrl+C on your keyboard.
