Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
gvfs: 0.1.7-0ubuntu5
nautilus: 1:2.21.91-0ubuntu3
Not sure if this is a gvfs (or ntfs-3g?) bug, but appeared after the transition
from gnome-vfs.
nautilus cannot delete a folder in NTFS filesystem if the folder contains other
files/folders. This problem doesn't appear with ext3 at least.
Test case:
1. create a ntfs loopback file and mount it
$ sudo aptitude install ntfsprogs
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/blah bs=1M count=2
$ sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/blah
$ sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/loop0
$ sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
$ mkdir /tmp/foo
$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /tmp/blah /tmp/foo
2. create a directory structure
$ mkdir -p /tmp/foo/bar/baz
3. try to remove /tmp/foo/bar using nautilus. A "Error while deleting."
message should appear.
