You could use diskutil via NSTask. You may have to authorize the task.

hdiutil is for disk images. You may be thinking of diskutil, which is for volumes generally and for real storage devices: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/diskutil.8.html

Bah. You're right. I corrected the answer. Thanks for pointing that out.
