Description of problem: The Gnome Trashcan doesn't work on ext4 filesystems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-vfs2-2.16.2-6.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount any filesystem as ext4 2. Drag a file from ext4 filesystem to desktop trashcan 3. Actual results: No change to trashcan - empty trashcan still appears empty Expected results: Deleted file should show in Trash Additional info: This has already been noted by Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539322 and fixed upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590298 I've verified that applying the fix in the upstream patch fixes the issue.
I've also discussed it here: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=26349
Step 1 should of course read: 1: Mount any ext4 filesystem

Created attachment 459545 [details] Minimal patch to add ext4 support This bug still isn't fixed in 5.6 beta. Attached patch is minimal fix for ext4; there may be other file systems which should be added.
This bug needs to be fixed before RedHat 5.6 final release. Note in particular http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/5.6_Release_Notes/ar01s05.html "The fourth extended filesystem (ext4) is now a fully supported feature in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6" Without this fixed, the above statement will be patently untrue.
(In reply to comment #8) > This bug needs to be fixed before RedHat 5.6 final release. Phil, please go through our official support if you still need this in 5.6 release.
It's not just me. I can roll my own fixes. Any user who uses ext4 and Gnome Desktop in 5.6 would be bitten by this. It's a bug, the fix is simple. Just do it.
For official Red Hat Enterprise Linux support, please log into the Red Hat support website at http://www.redhat.com/support and file a support ticket. To understand how your bug is tracked through our system, please see https://www.redhat.com/support/process/production/#howrh
What is this bugzilla for? Filing for bugs which never get fixed? Why do you even have Redhat Enterprise Linux here as an option for reports? If you prefer to bit rot your beloved operating system then please go ahead. I can stop filing tickets too. Sorry but I simply cannot understand your reasoning. Is this really the company policy? Maybe I should throw the rhel DVD's in the trash... But oh, I cant, it is not working!
Please remove the Comment 12, it is a bad joke. Sorry about that.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: new filesystems such as ext4 were unknown to gnome-vfs2 due to date of release Consequence: trashcan was not working properly Fix: support for commonly used modern filesystems was added in gnome-vfs2 Result: trashcan now works properly
