greg k-h I am trying to find out if any storage disk is connected to USB port and get its mount so that I an encrypt that mount with encrypted filesystem. Great, then do that from userspace, like it is done today. Or do you have a problem with how things are done today with encrypted filesystems? If so, why?

However once I get the notification, I can have netlink
Well, thats not a good enough reason to go to kernel space! :) Have you looked at Udev? It nicely handles device attach/detach events (hotplug events) from userspace. You should probably look at using it for your purpose. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev HTH, -mandeep
socket pass the device data to my user space application. Here the tricky part is I can get the device info, but not able to figure out how can I get the mount path from this device. I tried looking at linux automount feature but its doc is limited and its on demand feature may not allow me to know for sure if the drive is mounted properly. So is there any way I can get the mount path from the USB device structure in userspace?
for encrypted filesystem there isnt any problem as I would be overlaying that on the USB device default filesystem.
