Hi Ondrej: First of all, thanks for your answer.

Fuse mount point > provided by GVfs is a just limited fallback... Yes, the more I try to use GVfs, the more I realise about its shortcomings. The trouble is, sometimes I need to mount Windows shares without being root. And that is the only way I know of. Besides, it is such a shame that GVfs is almost there, but not quite. If only you could fix its last remaining issues... 8-) > Back to your issue.

I wrote the following script to automate mounting my shares and symlinking them: https://github.com/rdiez/Tools/blob/master/MountWindowsShares/mount-windows-shares-gvfs.sh > It might be possible that the fuse daemon crashed and rsync write something > in /run/user/[UID]/gvfs/smb... in the meantime.

How would I check whether the daemon has crashed? Is that a user-space application too? What is it called? I am using Kubuntu LTS 16.04.2, but I also have a similar Xubuntu system. Sometimes I get a crash dialog about a user-space application that just crashed, but I am not sure whether I would get such a notification from a system service. I guess that, if the daemon crashes, it gets restarted automatically. Is it possible to write something to /run/user/[UID]/gvfs/smb while the daemon is down? Would it land on the local filesystem then? I just tried to write there without any mounted network shares, but my user account does not have write permissions to the root /run/user/[UID]/gvfs directory. Is there a way to turn on debug/trace logging on the GVfs daemon, to see what is going on?
