Blocks in what way? You might be able to hook in at the DiskArbitration layer much more easily depending on what specifically you want to do.
Prevents most USB drives (of any and every partition type, HFS, MSDOS, etc) from mounting and writing (ever), but allows some (such as ones that are writable) to mount. The reason I am doing it at kernel level is because if I created a daemon that accessed the layer all a malicious user would have to do is to some how lag or halt the daemon process long enough to mount their drive. I have already looked into the DiskArbitration layer and I would prefer to do this via a KEXT, as I believe it is much more secure and it would be much harder for the users to unload and delete.
