More specifcally, where to look:

$ cd /usr/src/tracker-0.8.17/ && find . -type f -print0|xargs -0 grep
-Hn GVolumeMonitor|grep -v '^Binary file'
./.pc/01-upower.patch/src/miners/fs/tracker-miner-files.c:69:

Hmm- this may also be relevant:

in file NEWS:
...
NEW in 0.8.12 - 2010-06-17
==========================
...
  * libtracker-miner: Use GMount instead of GVolume which is for
user-mountable devices only
  * libtracker-miner: Detect removable devices using GDrive API, not guessing
  * libtracker-miner: Ignore GMounts which are considered shadowed mounts
