[SOLVED] Re: gvfs mount locations - configuration?

[Da Rock]

Ok, this was a bit of tricky one.

Apparently there is some confusion over fuse's role in the GIO/GVFS env. 
GIO doesn't need fuse to mount dirrectories as such - fuse handles that 
all on its own.

GIO uses fuse to create a mountpoint that non GIO/GVFS apps can use to 
access a remote location like sshfs, webdav, smb, etc. So when you login 
to a remote location GIO uses dbus to provide access to GVFS aware apps, 
and it also calls gvfsd-fuse (not gvfs-fuse-daemon - another point of 
confusion both on the web and in the man pages) to create a mountpoint 
and allow the other apps to access it over the dbus as well.

Clear as mud? :)

HTH someone else...
