GVFS

GVFS

GVFS [ [http://live.gnome.org/GioToDo Gio TODO] ] is a replacement for GnomeVFS, [ [http://www.mail-archive.com/gnome-vfs-list@gnome.org/msg00899.html GnomeVFS shortcomings] ] the GNOME Virtual File System. Still in development as of April 2008, it optionally allows supported virtual file systems to be mounted through FUSE. [ [http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2007-February/msg00062.html gvfs status report, Alexander Larsson, mail.gnome.org, February 15, 2007] ]

GVFS consists of two parts: a shared library which is loaded by applications supporting GIO and GVFS itself, a collection of daemons which communicate with each other and the GIO module over D-Bus. This moves the virtual file systems out of client processes, unlike GnomeVFS, but somewhat similar to KIO.

Supported backends include HAL integration, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, SMB, ObexFTP, and archive mounting support (through libarchive). [GNOME 2.22 Release Notes, [http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/#sect:gvfs-gio 6.1: GVFS and GIO] ]

As of August 2008, 96 of 113 registered GNOME components have been ported to GIO, [GIO Port, [http://live.gnome.org/GioPort/ GIO Port on live.gnome.org] ] as necessary to support GVFS URIs. For components that don't currently support GVFS URIs, the GVFS-Fuse module is used, which gives absolute paths to applications, mounted under a folder in the user's home directory.
