Description Ivan Stojmirov 2010-06-01 13:41:33 UTC
Description of problem:
Files which are residing in a folder on a different partition can not be moved to the Trash if the folder is accessed using a symlink. Nautilus throws: Error 'Not on the same file system' 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-vfs2-smb-2.16.2-6.el5_5.1.i386.rpm (latest available)

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a test file in /partition2/foo/file.txt
2. Create a symlink to /partition2 on your desktop
3. Double click on the symlink on the desktop, then double click on the foo folder and try to delete file.txt
  
Actual results:
The file is not moved to the Trash folder. 
Nautilus throws: Error 'Not on the same file system' 

Expected results:
Successfully move the file into the Trash folder.

Additional info:
If the /partition2/foo folder is accessed directly, without using the symlink, the file can be successfully moved to Trash.

Comment 2 Ivan Stojmirov 2010-08-13 13:32:25 UTC
Still reproducible.

Comment 3 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-08-27 12:14:36 UTC
Still couldn't reproduce this bug on my system. Packages are stock nautilus-2.16.2-7.el5 and gnome-vfs2-2.16.2-6.el5_5.1. 

Files are physically located in /data2 and symlinked to desktop, both the mountpoint and a subdirectory containing test file. I can delete anything from symlinked folders, giving me the 'The file "tmp" cannot be moved to the trash.' message (i.e. not trashing but deleting directly).

Comment 4 Ivan Stojmirov 2010-08-30 11:29:48 UTC
I can delete directly (using SHIFT+DEL), but moving to trash fails (just DEL).

gnome-vfs2-2.16.2-8.el5
nautilus-2.16.2-7.el5

What do you need from my side in order to troubleshoot this?

Comment 5 Anthony Avarca 2010-10-04 16:56:57 UTC
I'm also experiencing a similar issue. When moving a file from one NFS share to another I receive: "error not on the same file system." I'm running: gnome-vfs2-2.16.2-6.el5_5.1.x86_64.rpm
