Gnome will use it to give non-gnome applications access to files that are remote (network shares, ftp, sftp, etc... any files that nautilus can see but aren't mounted as a filesystem should be shoehorned into gvfs) I'm not too sure why gnome copies the root filesystem properties for spaced used/free, but that seems to be the case for several examples I've seen. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Only /dev/sda1 is a filesystem on your disk, the others (except /dev/scd0) are virtual file systems. The 1026388 sized ones are some kinbd of RAM disks, gvfs-fuse-daemon is used by GNOME to access files on FTP servers etc. (open an ftp://-URL in nautilus an have a look at /home/csv610/.gvfs).
