There are 2 Android phones connected to a particular machine, and they're mounted automatically in /run/user/<my_uid>/gvfs/.

That's cool and all, but unfortunately I need them to be mounted under another user's directory because a particular service which copies files to and from the devices uses Python's os.getuid() to get the current user's uid, but the service is run with that other user which we'll call "testuser".

What rule could I edit that would mount the devices in /run/user/<testuser_uid>/gvfs/ instead?

  • Using symbolic links is very clever! Thanks for that. The only issue that I'm facing is folder permissions of the two uid folders, but that's a different issue and it should be fairly easily solvable. Thanks again! – Abe Fehr Jul 31 '15 at 15:06
  • You know, the permissions thing is actually still somewhat complicated, and this question would've been really helpful if someone answered. I just don't understand fundamentally where the user gets decided when gvfs-fuse-daemon mounts something, or if those permissions can be configured so I can use symlinks – Abe Fehr Jul 31 '15 at 17:59
