<p>Showing an overlay mount as "Device" is also somewhat wrong IMO.</p></div>

<p>I'm saying that regardless of the technical details of the backend, it never makes sense to not show any devices. From the user's perspective, there is always a device of some sort, regardless of its underlying configuration. There can't not be a device. That doesn't make sense; software requires hardware.</p></div>
</blockquote>
<p>Even if all (block) devices and their mountpoints were shown in the devices view, there would be no equivalent of "/". One loop device provides the read-only base for /, but that's actually more confusing than the current state as it looks like /, but is only a read-only view of "the past".</p>
<p>I guess solid needs to gain support for mountpoints not backed by devices?</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R241 KIO</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D15739">https://phabricator.kde.org/D15739</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>meven, Dolphin, VDG, tcanabrava, ngraham, elvisangelaccio<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>fvogt, meven, elvisangelaccio, Codezela, davidc, tcanabrava, ndavis, romangg, bruns, davidedmundson, abetts, svenmauch, broulik, acrouthamel, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, michaelh, ngraham<br /></div>
