Some times, i know this is unusual, i get this error on my /var/log/samba/%m recycle: touching .recycle/sgallard/Laura Ambrosio/Pablodv.xls failed, reason = Operation not permitted Why? The file IS deleted. But it dosen't move to the recycle. The user can delete files, and i just happend. I can't yet find a pattern to understand why. The permissions are always the same. The type of file are always different. This is my config for the recycle: cat /etc/samba/recycle_group.conf vfs object = recycle recycle:repository = .recycle/%U recycle:keeptree = yes recycle:touch = yes recycle:versions = yes recycle:exclude = *.tmp *.temp *.obj ~$* *.$$$ *.o *.TMP *.TEMP *.exe *.EXE *.com *.COM This way, i have a hidden .recycle directory on every share and when a user delete something, it goes to $SHARE/.recycle/username/path_in_the_share. The wild thing is that the file always is deleted, sometime goes to the .recycle, sometimes not. The users don't have any perms to enter .recycle directory. This maybe a reason? The .recycle directory is defined in: dont descend = .recycle so they can't enter. Any ideas? Tnxs in advance.
