Hi,
I'm curious if and how Cockpit handles mounting of NFS/CIFS and other non-device stuff. AFAIK UDisks2 supports only mounting of block devices. Do I miss something?
E.g. people might be interested in mounting remote filesystem and/or watching their /tmp (on tmpfs) growing and getting alert when it fills up.

Cockpit doesn't handle NFS at all right now, but I am sure it will. Indeed, I think that's a good candidate for the first proper multi-machine scenario: Mount a filesystem on some other machine instead of locally.

I know there exists 'libmount' created by mount maintainer, there is no D-Bus service for it though. So some development effort is needed :-(.
And it might be useful consider also local non-device filesystems, e.g. someone might be interested in an alert when /tmp (=tmpfs) runs out of space.

Interesting use cases for something like storaged to run along side udisks ... Worth discussing.
