DiskArbitration has everything you need.
You probably want to use something like statfs, then
DADiskCreateFromBSDName and then DADiskCopyDescription and you'll
find one the properties returned is what you want. You'll probably
want to trim the trailing 's' bit off whatever you get back from
statfs before calling DADiskCreateFromBSDName.
Note that Disk Arbitration is a private framework in 10.3 (although
you can still use it with a bit of effort).

Hello,
I need a way to get the device description for a mounted drive. The
command-line program 'diskutil' does not provide this info. Either
the description or the vendor or device ID would be fine. As an
example, I'd like to have a method that did this:
NSString *description = [DeviceManager
descriptionForDevice:@"/Volumes/Untitled"];
Obviously that doesn't exist, and the solution doesn't have to be
cocoa, if it doesn't exist. Are there any elegant ways to do this, or
command-line programs I can use NSTask on to get this information?
Thanks,
Michael
