There's also udiskctl from the udisks2 package, if you want to do stuff
pretty-much by hand, while playing nicely with policykit (well, it lets
me (un)mount things as a normal user from the command-line in an xmonad
session with no Gnome in sight)

My reading of Marcin's mail suggested that he'd avoided installing
systemd, given the bit about:

which made me think that the rudeness about the people associated with
systemd was simply irrelevant.
