What is this and what is > its significance? gvfs is meant to be the next iteration of the functionality that gnomevfs provided. fuse is a mechanism by which users can mount filesystems on a per-user basis... unlike the traditional mount command which requires root level access either through setuid or sudo or some other mechanism. gvfs-fuse-daemon is there to bridge the two so that gvfs creates fuse mountpoints under .gvfs in your home directory when you use the gnome UI to mount things like remote ssh filesystems. If you use Gnome's Connect to Server UI to create a new mountpoint, you should get a corresponding directory structure under .gvfs that non-gnome aware applications and scripts can make use of. -jef -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
