Trash does not work with NFSv4
Last modified: 2007-01-19 20:28:10 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #337714 +++ Please describe the problem: When moving an item to trash on an NFSv4 mounted filesystem (such as /home), the trash icon does not change to show that it contains items; opening the "trash:" folder does not show contents; "Empty Trash function is either grayed out, or does not remove the file. However, if you migrate to the "/home/username/.Trash" directory, you can see the item, manually delete it, and Gnome will present you with the "Do you want to delete this item from Trash" popup. If i remount the filesystem with NFSv3, Trash works as expected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Mount your home directory with NFSv4 2. Take any file and move it to trash 3. Open the Gnome Trash folder Actual results: The trash icon does not change to show that it contains items; opening the "trash:" folder does not show contents; "Empty Trash function is either grayed out, or does not remove the file. However, if you migrate to the "/home/username/.Trash" directory, you can see the item, manually delete it, and Gnome will present you with the "Do you want to delete this item from Trash" popup. Expected results: I expect that the trash icon will change to show that there are items in trash and that I could empty the trash folder by using the "Empty Trash" function whether the system is mounted in NFSv3 or NFSv4. Does this happen every time? It happens every time with NFSv4. It never happens with NFSv3. Other information:
