You could parse the output of the diskutil command. For example:
set lst to do shell script "/usr/sbin/diskutil list "
repeat with aLine in paragraphs of lst
if aLine begins with "/dev/" then
set itsDevice to aLine -- or text 6 thru -1 of aLine
else if aLine contains "#:" then
set nameBeg to offset of "NAME" in aLine
set sizeBeg to offset of "SIZE" in aLine
set idBeg to offset of "IDENTIFIER" in aLine
else if aLine contains "Apple_HFS" then
set nameEnd to sizeBeg - 1
repeat while nameEnd > nameBeg and character nameEnd of aLine = " "
set nameEnd to nameEnd - 1
end repeat
set itsName to text nameBeg thru nameEnd of aLine
set itsID to text idBeg thru -1 of aLine
log {itsName, itsID, itsDevice} -- or do something more useful
end if
end repeat
To limit to a particular device, put the name of any partition on the device after the diskutil list command. For example,
set lst to do shell script "/usr/sbin/diskutil list /Volumes/junk"
and continue as above.
