"GVFS" is a Debian/Ubuntu process that is a "userspace virtual
filesystem - server"

gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem where mount runs as a separate
processes which you talk to via D-Bus. It also contains a gio module
that seamlessly adds gvfs support to all applications using the gio
API. It also supports exposing the gvfs mounts to non-gio applications
using fuse.

This package contains the gvfs server that provides gvfs mounts to all
gio applications, and the minimal set of backends.

Canonical provides critical updates for gvfs until April 2013.
