Description
I am not able to mount a repo in docker with gvfs.
Error:
Cloning...Succeeded
Fetching commits and trees from origin (no cache server)...Succeeded
Attaching ProjFS to volume...Failed. Run 'gvfs log C:\project\Solutions' for more info.
GVFS.Service is not responding. Run 'sc start GVFS.Service' from an elevated command prompt to ensure it is running.
Even running the commands as container admin still fails.
When I run the powershell command:
Get-service gvfs.service
Status Name DisplayName
------ ---- -----------
Stopped GVFS.Service gvfs.service
It shows it has stopped. When trying to restart it, it fails to start.
restart-service : Failed to start service 'gvfs.service (GVFS.Service)'.

Research direction
Start with the supplied Dockerfile for Windows 1903 and the ExecuteMount logs, then inspect how GVFS.Service and Client-ProjFS are initialized inside the container. Reproduce the stopped-service failure and trace the startup error; done means identifying the container configuration or service behavior responsible and documenting a verified resolution.
