iTunes and iPhoto get launched by a different process currently when a
specific type of device is attached (as is Print Center and Image
Capture). There is no currently public way to set or unset those
applications. This will most likely change in the future.
For now, you can create your own generic daemon pretty easily and add it
to the login items if you need to do so. However at some point in the
future I would imagine this won't be necessary.

Um, you can't do that from a kext really (well at least not easily).
Volumes mount and unmount in user space. You can write programs that
do that in user space (NSWorkspace provides notifications of volume
mounts and unmounts) - is that what you are looking for?
I've been meaning to ask this for a while.
So if one wanted, say, upon the mounting of a specific volume (USB
keychain drive with a known volume name in this case), to run a
specific program, what would be the simplest way of going about it?
In other words, I know that there's mechanisms in place already for
iTunes and iPhoto, but how does a mere mortal accomplish the same
thing? There aren't daemon cocoa apps running around, at least not ones
that ps is telling me about.
