I can't get a survey of what GFVS is. GnomeVFS is deprecated, but the documentation doesn't tell something about a replacement or an alternative: http://library.gnome.org/devel/references So I assume GVFS is again some collection of libraries. I suggest GIO is at least part of it. As far as I could understand DeviceKit isn't a gnome specific approach (which is of course not bad!). And the API documentation from DeviceKit http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/DeviceKit/ is either far from being complete or DeviceKit is not yet complete. Isn't easier to extend GIO API? See this: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/GDrive.html wouldn't it be nice to have a function like g_drive_set_name next to g_drive_get_name? And also some functions like g_drive_get_fs_status //!< check if filesystem was properly unmounted g_drive_check_fs //!< perform filesystem check where applicable g_drive_check_fs_on_next_boot //!< ... g_drive_get_fsck_period //!< where applicable... g_drive_set_fsck_period //!< where applicable... g_drive_format_filesystem //!< don't change partition, just format it Or should this functionality be part of another library? Maybe all this should be discussed elsewhere. But wouldn't be nice for the nautilus team?
