What are you looking for exactly?  udev has a great helper program,

Would that help out here?


It might, but it's also rather ugly to have two pieces of code, especially in the presence of very dynamic partitions. In other words, if the kernel deals with partitions, you want to be able to get at the kernel's view of partitions, not necessarily the actual set of partitions on disk, which can be quite different.
