" - In dem Artikel kommt "backend" überhaupt nicht vor. - Wozu benötigt das GVFS Backends?A virtual file system (VFS) or virtual filesystem switch is an abstraction layer on top of a more concrete file system. The purpose of a VFS is to allow client applications to access different types of concrete file systems in a uniform way. A VFS can, for example, be used to access local and network storage devices transparently without the client application noticing the difference.

" --GVFS is a userspace virtual file system with backends for protocols like SFTP, FTP, DAV, SMB, ObexFTP. GVFS is the replacement for GNOME-VFS. GNOME-VFS should now be considered deprecated, and developers should not use it in new applications. GVFS consists of two parts:
GIO, a new shared library that is part of GLib and provides the API for GVFS; and
GVFS itself, a new package containing backends for various file system types and protocols such as SFTP, FTP, DAV, SMB and ObexFTP.
