samba - Aug 2025 - Deleted files are not moved to the Samba recycle bin

Hello everyone,
I'm using Samba, and it only moves the folder and doesn't move the files
when they're deleted to the directory configured in recycle:repository.

I was using version 2: 4.17.12+dfsg-0+deb12u1 on Debian BookWorm.

I updated to version 4.22.3-Debian-4.22.3+dfsg-4~bpo12+1
and the problem persists.

Write permissions were granted, so the folder is moved.

During testing, I noticed that when the .recycler folder is configured on
the same disk as the share, the files are moved, but if the .recycler
folder is configured on another disk, even with full permissions, the files
are not moved.

How have you set up the recycle bin ?

Hi,

Here's my configuration:

vfs objects = acl_xattr full_audit recycle
recycle:repository = /mnt/trash/%U
recycle:keeptree = yes
recycle:versions = yes
recycle:touch = yes
recycle:exclude = *.tmp, *.log, *.obj, ~*.*, *.bak, *.iso, *.mp3,
*.mp4, *.avi, *.flv
recycle:exclude_dir = /tmp /cache

/mnt/trash It's a disk mounted only for deleted files.

I have two hard drives mounted with shares.
If I create a recycle bin on each of them, the deleted files will be
moved to the recycle bin on that drive.

Disk A doesn't move files to the recycle bin on any other drive.
The same thing happens with disk B,
even though it has full write permissions.


I created another post because I didn't receive the email to reply to
the old post.
