The gvfsd-smb mount daemons are per-user processes, so they can't put files in a system wide location such as /media. In addition to that, most network mounts require you to provide some credentials to authenticate, so the mounts are completely user-specific and should go in /home (unless you want your network mounts accessible to every user on the system).
Your argument doesn't really make sense. "Newbies" don't navigate the file system on the command line. They navigate the file system using the filemanager, and other graphical applications which support GIO and make it incredibly easy to access network mounts. -- when I map a drive in nautilus it does not create a folder in /media so I cannot use command line toos with the mapping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
