cannot delete soft link
Last modified: 2007-08-07 15:42:31 UTC
Please describe the problem: I cannot delete a soft link to a directory. When I try, I get an error dialog that says: Error: "Not on same file system" while deleting "/home/eric/...x Software". Would you like to continue? Steps to reproduce: 1. Plug in my external USB hard disk. 2. Create a soft link from a folder on my root partition to a folder on the external hard disk. 3. Try to delete the soft link. Actual results: Nautilus displays an error message. Expected results: Nautilus should delete the soft link. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: The external USB hard disk is encrypted using LUKS and the filesystem is NTFS mounted read-write with the ntfs-3g driver. My distro is Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn.
