Topic: Recycle Bin doesn't work for ibays

[mackayr]

I recently upgraded my server to 6.5.  The recycle bin feature is working fine for home folders, but doesn't appear to work for ibays (though I changed the setting under modify and saved it).  I noticed that there are "Recycle Bin" folders in the files directory with files, html, and cgi-bin, but there's nothing in them (and I've deleted some files to test the feature).

Any suggestions/ideas?

What happens if you log into the console via SSH and monitor it?

I also noticed that sometimes things dont work right with my web browser Opera. Have you tried another browser?

I don't understand how/why web browsers would be related to recycle bin.

Please elaborate.

mackayr,

(Haven't tried 6.5 but if it's still the good old samba recyclebin you'll want to...)

first: look into the good old /etc/samba/smb.conf
and check if you can find the  samba "vfs" object that does the recyclebin
iow with pico /etc/samba/smb.conf
...look for two lines like this...
vfs object = /usr/lib/samba/vfs/recycle.so
vfs options = /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/50recyclebin

next: check /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/50recyclebin
...and decide for yourself if the options are right or caused your problems

Regards

I have the following section under [homes]

vfs object = recycle:repository recycle:keeptree recycle:versions recycle:touch recycle:exclude recycle:exclude_dir
  recycle:repository=Recycle Bin
  recycle:keeptree=True
  recycle:versions=True
  recycle:touch=True
  recycle:exclude=*.tmp|*.temp|*.o|*.obj|~$*
  recycle:exclude_dir=/tmp|/temp|/cache

But there's nothing under the separate ibays, nor is there a template for "50recyclebin".

SME 6.5 comes with Samba v.3 so I think it may be handled differently under this version.

I could try and cut/paste the recycle bin stuff from homes section to ibays individually, but those changes would be lost next time SME does it's update thing.

Any further ideas?

Thanks,

Rob

OK.  Problem solved.

At one point, I had been having problems with permissions with shared folders (ibays) and did some playing around with 90ibays in templates.  When I upgraded to SME 6.5 (with Samba 3), the recycle bin modification went to the original 90ibays in template (I had a copy in templates-custom or whatever that folder is).  Therefore "my" copy was overriding the modified template.  Easy fix.  I removed my custom template, re-expanded smb.conf, restarted samba and voila!  Recycle bin!

BTW ... v.6.5 works great so far.
