Question
I am new to GIO
and I am totally confused between GMount
and GVolume
. The GIO
reference says that GMount
is a "mounted" filesystem that you can access while GVolume
represents user-visible objects that can be mounted. I have a few questions about these two types.
- Is a mounted
GVolume
object equivalent to aGMount
object? - A mounted
GVolume
object is always associated with aGMount
object. What is the relationship between them? - A
GMount
object may or may not be associated with aGVolume
object. When is it not associated with the latter?
Solution
In short:
- No.
- Yes, 1-1 relationship by the way.
- Virtual devices such as fpt:// etc. have only a Gmount without a GVolume.
