GNOME VFS is short for GNOME Virtual File System. It provides an abstraction layer for the reading, writing and execution of files. It is primarily used by the Nautilus file manager and other GNOME applications.
A cause of confusion is the fact that the file system abstraction used by the Linux kernel is also called the virtual file system (VFS). This is however at a lower level.
