That all looks good then. I'm guessing udisksd tried to do something.
I've never seen anything like that pop up on my system.

I grepped my logs for udisks and see stuff like
/var/log/daemon.log: avahi-daemon[783]: Loading service file /services/udisks.service.
/var/log/daemon.log: avahi-daemon[783]: Service "west" (/services/udisks.service) successfully established.

avahi was, and udisks now is, a complete mystery to me.
How do you pronounce avahi anyway, like Hi Ava! or something more latin.

Cheers,
David.
