```
$ gio mount sftp://whatever
$ ls /run/user/$UID/gvfs/
```
prints nothing.

Same thing happens if I mount it from the Nautilus file manager.

This bug has appeared before and I still have no idea how it was fixed,
which is not great. I'll do a bisect soon. Should probably add a system
test for it so it doesn't break again.

In the meantime, if whoever fixed it the last time could look into it
again, I'd be very thankful. Using sshfs manually works but isn't great.

glib has seen 3 ugrades in Guix since you reported this issue (2.68.3
then 2.70 then 2.70.2).  Do you still have the issue?

How do you setup the server; is a running OpenSSH server sufficient?

Thanks,

Maxim

I haven't done the bisect yet (ugh, why is time), but yes, the problem
still persists. Mostly same system config. gvfs is included in system
profile.
Yep, running OpenSSH is enough.
The system I'm currently writing from very much has the issue and is
about... okay, so it's from june 21, so not as fresh as I thought, but
relatively fresh.

Upgraded system and user profiles and the issue is still present.

Note that it seem to work if you are using the GNOME desktop.

gvfs is now using fusermount3, but we were only adding 'fusermount' as a
setuid-program by default.

After adding fusermount3 from fuse <at> 3 to /run/setuid-programs, it appears
to work:

$ guix shell glib:bin gvfs dbus fuse gnome-keyring
[env] PATH=/run/setuid-programs:$PATH dbus-run-session bash
[env] gio mount sftp://some-host:2345
( prompts for credentials )
ls /run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=some-host,port=2345/
bin/   dev/  gnu/   [...]

I've pushed this as commit cbdfa54c77.

Closing.

Maxim
