Currently the udev rules while acting on an event for a device can look 
at and modify environment variables associated with that device.  The 
admin can use udevinfo to query this information, but is there any way 
to MODIFY it?  If not, how hard would adding a tool be that can 
arbitrarily modify values in the udevdb?

I ask because I am trying to fix the system to perform autodetection and 
mounting on synthetic devices from device-mapper and md, but they need 
to not mess with certain devices, such as snapshot devices, and other 
internal devices.  I was hoping to do this using a udevdb attribute that 
can be set on devices that are meant for export, and only automount 
devices marked as such.
