greetings. i'm trying to figure out how feasible it is to create some sort of virtual device for mountpoints mounted with fuse.
i'm hoping this is the appropriate place for such a message... if not, please suggest a better place for such a question. as best i can figure out, KDE and LXDE use hal or udev/udisks properties for their file manager to recognize mounted devices or devices available for mounting. with fuse mounts, there is no associated device or udev event, as far as i can tell. in particular, i'm working with ltspfs, which is a remote fuse filesystem used for LTSP thin-clients. ltspfs on the client-side has udev rules to detect device insertion/removal, and then connects to the server that the user is logged into, and sets up a fuse mount server-side that the user then accesses. with GNOME, it recognizes mounts done in /media/, and so ltspfs mounts remote devices in /media and it gets recognized by GNOME's filemanager. but KDE and LXDE don't handle mounts in /media in the same way, so ltspfs mounts that happen in /media and are not recognized by the filemanager (other than simply browsing to the mountpoint, like any other filesystem). a bug reported against ltspfs in debian: http://bugs.debian.org/575031 is there some way to emulate a device, creating a virtual device in the hal/udev/udisks/devicekit namespace? a short-term approach that could be used, or a longer-term vision for how to handle these sorts of situations? thanks for your thoughts! please CC 575...@bugs.debian.org with a response, if you would be so kind. live well, vagrant _______________________________________________ devkit-devel mailing list devkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/devkit-devel
