It is unlikely that it is reading /proc if it is using Solid (which is 
likely).
As far as I know the two Solid (disk) backends for Linux are currently HAL and 
udisks, maybe already udisks2.

Depending on the backend it would be interesting to check if the system has 
the data and it is filtered out by Solid or if the data is not available to 
Solid in the first place.

Of course based on the assumption that it is using Solid, haven't checked :)

Cheers,
Kevin
