All the credible online sources I've seen claims that GVFS is implemented via the FUSE subsystem. E.g.: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/77453/why-cannot-find-read-run-user-1000-gvfs-even-though-it-is-running-as-root https://serverfault.com/questions/12162/directory-that-a-user-can-read-but-root-cant https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18307758/linux-skip-root-gvfs-when-executing-df-command-with-non-root-user?rq=1 https://superuser.com/questions/228261/how-to-properly-start-gvfs-without-gnome Also, https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs suggests that this is still the case. (I carefully avoid GNOME, so I have no test cases at hand.) -- Cheers, Romana: "I don't think we should interfere." Rick Moen The Doctor: "Interfere?"
