Description Deepu K S 2016-03-16 16:29:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trash folder doesn't show files from filesystems other than rootfs (/). When files are Moved to Trash from other filesystems, it gets moved to .Trash-0/files/ folder. However, Gnome Trash bin doesn't show that. Only Trash from the users home folder (~/.local/share/Trash/files/) is listed.

The issue was checked with logging as 'root' user so that to have access to "Move to Trash" on other filesystems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
nautilus-3.14.3-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Below filesystems were mounted on my system.
Filesystems :

/dev/mapper/rhel_dhcp210--135-root on / type xfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,noquota)
/dev/mapper/newvoltest-vfatfs on /vfat type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vda1 on /boot type xfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,noquota)
/dev/mapper/newvoltest-optfs on /opt type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/newvoltest-mntfs on /mnt type ext3 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)

Files which were 'Moved to Trash' from each filesystems.

# ls /opt/.Trash-0/files/
jingleopt  opt1  opt2  optdir1  testopt

# ls /mnt/.Trash-0/files/
jinglemnt  mnt1  mnt2  mntdir1  testmnt

# ls /boot/.Trash-0/files/
boot1  boot2  bootdir1  deepusk  jill  jingleboot  testboot  Untitled Folder

# ls /vfat/.Trash-0/files/
testvfat  vfat1  vfat2  vfatdir1

# ls /root/.local/share/Trash/files/
rootfs1  rootfs2  rootfsdir1

Actual results:
Only files from rootfs (/) and vfat filesystems were shown in Trash folder. (Image attached : Screenshot from 2016-03-16 21:35:25.png)

Expected results:
GNOME Trash should sync up Trash from all filesystems belonging to that user.

Additional info:
In above example I had one FAT filesystem, the Trash files on this fs were listed. But, files from other fs ext3, ext4, xfs are not shown.

Hey Deepu,

would you please check latest rhel7.4, we rebased whole gnome stack so there is some possibility this issue was already fixed.

Thanks

Unfortunately version 7.4 shows the same behavior and the issue isn't resolved.

This isn't definitely nautilus bug, this is glib (or gvfs) bug. Given the fact that g_file_trash() has been recently changed upstream to support trashing only for locations supported by gvfsd-trash, let's move to glib.

See:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/commit/d1eaf72c001279aa15a2135a0749ef864c8edb42
Comment 8 Deepu K S 2019-01-08 09:09:48 UTC 
From my observations if /opt, /mnt, /root are different filesystems, then move to trash doesn't work. Only we get a "Permanently Delete" option.
This behaviour is seen for RHEL 7.6 also.

Closing the bug as the attached customer case is closed.
