i could go into a rant about capitalization and whitespace in system paths, but i'll save that for another day. there is already a directory for system level mountpoints. it's called /mnt. the ubuntu equivalent to mac's /Volumes appears to be /media. i'm not exactly clear on what the difference is, other than gnome/nautilus sees one and not the other.
we've already established that mounting user-space volumes outside of the home folder is a no-no. exposing the mount points as a visible directory in the home directory does not exactly follow with the gnome standard. it doesn't exactly fit with what I, personally, would want, but if you were following gnome's lead, it would have the volumes visible on the desktop (similar to other mounted volumes), which could be turned on/off via gconf editor (/apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible). this whole business about whether or not to create a symlink to ~/.gvfs seems pretty pointless. If you want the link, create it.. if not, don't. also, i don't mean to be a party pooper, but does any of this discussion have anything to do with the big hairy wart of a bug that this thread is supposed to be about. if you ask me, this bug is more detrimental to the user experience than whether or not we can see the volumes in our home folder. -- gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
