I was going to update Udisks from 2.1.8 to 2.8.2 & then saw why I hadn't updated it previously :
root:526 ~> emerge -pv udisks These are the packages that would be merged, in order: emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=sys-libs/libblockdev-2.19[cryptsetup,lvm?,vdo?]". !!!
