Everything about Gnomevfs totally explained
GnomeVFS is short for
GNOME Virtual File System. It provides an
abstraction layer for the reading, writing and execution of files. It was primarily used by the
Nautilus file manager and other
GNOME applications before GNOME 2.22.
A cause of confusion is the fact that the
file system abstraction used by the
Linux kernel is also called the
virtual file system (VFS) layer. This is however at a lower level.
A replacement called
GVFS, is currently in development which also allows partitions to be mounted through
FUSE.
As of April 2008, the GNOME project has declared GnomeVFS
deprecated in favour of GVFS and GIO, requesting that developers not use it in new applications.
