Neat (I've saved the bookmark!), but not what I'm looking for (I think).

devkit-disks is concerned with hardware.

I am looking for a "hook" *after* a specific device has been mounted.

My use-case: The specific device is an encrypted partition on a prtable 
usb-stick. Once I mount and decrypt that volume, I would like to sync 
certain parts of that partition using a script. Can I do that using 
devkit-disks? From scanning the devkit man page I have the impression, 
that devkit has a different focus...
