Re: Changing the default GVFS backend mount point.

[CM Reddy <mlists cm gmail com>]

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your help.

I had tried the mount operation to alter the standard mount point ("/" by adding the code in do_mount function. I tried by changing the "mount_prefix" variable (/usr/local/share) of GMountSpec with the following function. 

g_mount_spec_set_mount_prefix ().

However, my backend daemon mounts to "/" root only. It failed to mount at "/usr/local/share". 

I was wondering for the function to change the standard mount point.

Thanks in advance for your help.

localtest: is just a small test thing. It doesn't do much and what it
does is pretty hardcoded. For instance, there is no way currently to do
what you want. It should be easy for you to add to the code though.
