Mount in user mode && USBD for external HDD

In fact,
device "da[0-9]+"

doesn't match when I plug my hdd
I need to put device "umass[0-9]+"

and the ${DEVICENAME} = umass0 for exemple
I don't know how to obtain the pseudo "da" device with just information umass0
Use sysctl or devinfo doesn't match it
The only way I have found to get this information is to extract it from dmesg
But it's not really a fine way

Well, have an idea ?
