	I get : 

$ udisks --enumerate
/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda
/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/dm_2d0
/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/dm_2d1
/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda1
/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda2
/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0
/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/dm_2d2

	Is there anything missing? How do I interpret what follows the 
last slash in each??
