        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
            The <link linkend="class-giovolume"><classname>gio.Volume</classname></link>
            interface represents user-visible objects that can be mounted. Note, when porting
            from GnomeVFS, <link linkend="class-giovolume"><classname>gio.Volume</classname></link>
            is the moral equivalent of GnomeVFSDrive. 
        </para>
        <para>
            Mounting a <link linkend="class-giovolume"><classname>gio.Volume</classname></link>
            instance is an asynchronous operation. For more information about asynchronous operations.
            To mount a <link linkend="class-giovolume"><classname>gio.Volume</classname></link>, first call
            <methodname><link linkend="method-giovolume--mount">gio.Volume.mount</link></methodname>()
            with (at least) the <link linkend="class-giovolume"><classname>gio.Volume</classname></link>
            instance, optionally a
            <link linkend="class-giomountoperation"><classname>gio.MountOperation</classname></link>
            object and a GAsyncReadyCallback. 
        </para>
        <para>
            Typically, one will only want to pass <literal>None</literal> for the GMountOperation
            if automounting all volumes when a desktop session starts since it's not desirable
            to put up a lot of dialogs asking for credentials. 
        </para>
        <para>
            The callback will be fired when the operation has resolved (either with success or failure),
            and a GAsyncReady structure will be passed to the callback. That callback should then call
            <methodname><link linkend="method-giovolume--mount-finish">gio.Volume.mount_finish</link></methodname>()
            with the GVolume instance and the GAsyncReady data to see if the operation was completed
            successfully. If an error is present when
            <methodname><link linkend="method-giovolume--mount-finish">gio.Volume.mount_finish</link></methodname>()
            is called, then it will be filled with any error information. 
        </para>
        <para>
            It is sometimes necessary to directly access the underlying operating system object behind a volume
            (e.g. for passing a volume to an application via the commandline). For this purpose, GIO allows to obtain
            an 'identifier' for the volume. There can be different kinds of identifiers, such as Hal UDIs,
            filesystem labels, traditional Unix devices (e.g. /dev/sda2), uuids. GIO uses predefind strings
            as names for the different kinds of identifiers:
            "hal-udi", "label", etc. Use
            <methodname><link linkend="method-giovolume--get-identifier">gio.Volume.get_identifier</link></methodname>()
            to obtain an identifier for a volume.
