Upstream won't be fixing GnomeVFS (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328107#c16).
The bug can be left valid by changing it, properly, to refer to gvfs or perhaps just Nautilus. That is the logical request: support for NFS in Gnome, without care for the underlying library (gnomevfs vs gvfs). What we want is for Avahi published NFS mounts, e.g., <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">Home Directories</name> <service> <type>_nfs._tcp</type> <port>2049</port> <txt-record>path=/home</txt-record> </service> </service-group> which results in a client system being able to see: = eth0 IPv4 Home Directories Network File System local hostname = [amitower.local] address = [192.168.1.6] port = [2049] txt = ["path=/home"] Yes, I have left out /etc/exports, as it isn't germaine to zeroconf -- the point of Bug #65048, which has been marked as a duplicate of this bug, The point is that we want Gnome to show us those (removable) media when they are available, and allow them to be mounted. ** Also affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No nfs:// support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/29263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
